A .30 M-1 Carbine is not as much fun at the range when you discover you left your mags home. On the bright side, it’s still an autounloader, and you use quite a bit less ammunition.
Well I hate to admit it. But don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I went to the range a few of weeks ago. Took a couple of AR's and a 22 bolt gun. I shot the 556 first, then the 22. Next I grabbed my 6.5 Grendel. I had plenty of 6.5 ammo but only had 556 mags in my bag. So I shot a few 3 shot groups loading one at a time. Lucky I was the only one at the range. If someone was shooting next to me I probably would have just left. First time for me. It would have been embarrassing to explain why I was shooting an AR as a single shot. The wife tells me now that I'm over 65 I have sometimers, the precursor to Alzheimer's.
