One GI mag had a weak spring.twice, it didn’t get the round up to the bolt fast enough to feed.ĭid some rapid fire at 25yds, which was a blast. I used GI and Korean mags, both 15rd and 30rd. I shot FMJ, as well as SP and Critical Defense. Took it to the rifle club and put over 100rds through it. It looked good in all the right places, so I took a chance. It was like new, and was the version they made with a Choate folding stock.for less than the Ruger. While looking for a Ruger, I stumbled into a slightly used Auto Ordnance Carbine.
With the recent value appreciation on GI carbines, I was considering replacing it in the HD role with a 9mm carbine, probably the Ruger. Ive used a CMP-acquired Inland Carbine as a home defense longarm since I got it several years ago. My wife loves it as well so it's our HD carbine over an AR or my Mini-14 because the blast and flash of the 30 Carbine rd is much less and with a max engagement range of like 35 ft, 30rds of my 110grn JSP, 1930fps handloads are more than enough. Other than that, I just keep it clean and lubed and have a ball with it. All in all, it's a keeper and a great addition to my collection. I swapped out the flip rear sight for a Type II adjustable rear sight because I like what's on my NPM. Reliable as heck, it comes with a M2 type mag release so you can shoot either 15rd or 30rd mags right out of the box without issues. My AO is a shooter I don't have to worry about ruining a piece of history if it breaks a part, however, 6+ years and over 5K rds and it still runs like a top. Significantly more accurate than my GI Carbine even with it's terrific condition barrel and lightly used action. While I have a real GI '43 NPM M1 Carbine, it's too good of condition and too valuable to shoot so in 2012 I got a NIB AO carbine. I don't really have a purpose for this potential addition other than its a rifle that is under the pressure limits for my local indoor range. I always hear online that these guns have never been reliable, but obviously they were at least reliable enough at some point in time. Do any of you have experience or opinions to offer about the new M1 carbines? Unfortunately I don't have access to an original or a repro M1 carbine to compare, and to be honest I have zero experience with one physically. I haven't been able to find many reviews that shed positive light on the M1 carbine but all the bad reviews seem to be issues that go back to its original production and isn't necessarily a new problem. Fairly recently I saw that Kahr is making several versions under the Auto-Ordnance name as new productions. Several family members carried one in the service throughout the 40s and 50s and I've always been intrigued by them. Ever since I was little I've liked M1 carbines.
