First CF I ever had the pleasure to shoot was a M1 Carbine. Lot of fun.
Owned and Inland Division version about 30 years ago and though it shot well enough I wound up selling it. Have a Kahr clone today that shoots fine. It likes the Remington 110 grain SP atop a dash of Lil' Gun.
Have noticed of late that other than Winchester production, the prices seem to be dropping sharply at the gun shows.
