Best Modern M-1 Carbine? - The Firearms Forum
Jun 10, 2023 · I've been thinking about getting an M1 Carbine replica. I have read discussions of the pros and cons of M1 carbines made by Auto Ordnance, Inland, and Fulton Armory. Seems like the Fulton Armory carbines are the preferred model in a repro gun, but they are quite expensive and usually take a while to get as I think they are built to order.
States where M1 Carbines are banned? - M1 Garand Forum.com
During the Plainfield riots in 1967 the Plainfield Machine factory was broken into. Forty Six M1 Carbines were stolen and only about a half dozen were recovered.

Buying first Garand from the CMP--which Garand to buy
Dec 6, 2024 · IMHO, get what appeals to you. As far as having any reliability issues the armorers at the CMP will make things right.

Proper lube of m1 carbine - CMP Forums
Rule of thumb: If it slides grease it if it rotates, oil it. I have been told the M1 Carbine was originally designed to mainly be oiled, hence the oiler. The Garands came with a grease pot... In my opinion any of the ones marked excellent/higher drop point are o.k.

Garand Gear Ported Gas Plug opinions? - CMP Forums

M1 safety will not engage - CMP Forums
That is what I was expecting with the M1. Thanks for the education. The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.
