  Very nice. I love shooting that Lil carbine.

  Just look at the flowers Lizzie, just look at the flowers.

  You suck! I kick myself all the time for not picking up an M1 Carbine when the CMP had them.
  
  Oh well, I guess I'll have to cuddle with my Garand instead.

  Most carbines got rebuilt after the war. My Inland has the STD.PROD. rebuild mark on the stock. The little M-1 Carbine , which I always brushed off as pretty much useless , has an interesting history and quite a few good-reading books are out there.

  I've always had a good time shooting mine. It's one of those rifles that I don't care if it's accurate or not, I still like taking it to the range. Kind of like hanging out with great grand dad, what he tells ya may not hold water but sure is great being around him.

  Nice! I just acquired a post-war commercial carbine (see new thread) from a friend and can't wait to let her dance!
