M1 carbine advice
- Thread starter StuP
- Start date
It seems like just a few years ago, the CMP price for a carbine was $400-something dollars, and gun shows were $700.
Now you say that the CMP is selling them for $700+ and gun show vendors are pushing nearly a grand ???
Amazing. I guess as the baby boomers hit their peak earning years just prior to retirement, they've got tons of money to spend to pick up the kind of guns they remember Dad using and talking about in the good ol' days.
I like the M1 Carbine, but as a shooter it's not as useful as a similarly-priced AR-15 with a 16" bbl.

Don't want to steal your thread but my carbine doesn't feed to well. It won't fully go into battery at times so after reading around Im going to replace the recoil spring but what would a good replacement be and where can I find some? I've found the wolffs but haven't had any luck finding USGI ones.
Here are 2 available: shameless plug

Wolf makes great products. I bought a mauser spring once and quit having light strikes. 100 % reliable. I would order one.
If you want the look and feel the Kahr/Auto-Ordnance guns are not bad at all. Their only issue I've had with mine is that they are finicky about the mags they will work with.
On the new 'Inland' clones, I've read a few reviews and all of the reviewers had some function issues.
If you want the real deal, do what I did and buy one of MILSURP's ex-herd...

Feed issues- tried different mags?
