M1 Carbine

U.S. Military Surplus M1 Carbine

U.S. Military Surplus M1 Carbine

Makes an excellent little rifle for survival. It is small, compact, and can be made more so with a M1A1 or similar folding stock. It has enough power for anything up to deer, yet still wont completely destroy smaller game like other high powered rifles. With a 15 or 30 round mag, you can put lead down in a hurry should a predator decide to make you its lunch. Just stay away from FMJ unless you want some severe over penetration.

Has plenty of power to stop a man and is plenty accurate. Mine was mfg in 1943 and it runs like a champ. Finding ammo(.30 carbine)can present a problem but thats the only drawback of this firearm.

My rifle is a standard military issue M-1 Carbine with a 30 round clip. It is deadly on small game, and as it was designed for is a proven man-stopper. Thirty rounds of 110 grain projectiles will stop all but large game.

Light weight 5.5lbs, ammo light weight, spare parts are available. Useful for game or personal protection. Cost is the only drawback $700.00.

I like this little rifle so much that I have two of them. One for the wife, perfect size for carry
in the vehicle in a SHTF scenario, with 15 or 30 round magazines they offer acceptable firepower in a compact package.
