A carbine would be nice but what I really would like is some more of that inexpensive Korean 30.06 ammo in the Gerand bandoleers.
I also have two M1 carbines and three Garands. I bet that little toy .30 carbine round is a lot meaner than whatever pistol you carry, especially with hollow points.
I’ve found the carbines to be a joy to shoot and amazingly accurate (IBM and Underwood). Short and handy too.
The huge joke is the idea that the carbine is a repeater and the Garand isn’t. This is obviously the fear of having a photo of a magazine loaded carbine seen by ignorant anti-liberty folks, who don’t know any better.
By another CMP Garand boys and wait for Obama to hit the dustbin of history.
