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.
Wonder if any of these carbines are configured in Para-Carbine fashion? Folding stock?
