as they come with a magazine that can carry multiple rounds unlike the Garands.

Idiots. The M1 Garand carries 8 rounds in an internal magazine that is charged with a clip.

The only difference is, IIRC, the M1 Carbine came with 15-round detachable mags. Net difference is 7 rounds, and I can reload my Garand faster than I could the Carbine due to the fact the Garand ejects the spent clip after the last round, and all I have to do is insert the new clip.

Cool, I'll carry around both a carbine and a Garand, then if nothin’ is goin’ on I can sit down and read a magazine OR watch a clip.

I have both weapons and like them both for different reasons.

The carbine is really light, fun to shoot and easy to clean.

BUT

Is there anything better that a 30.06?
