Hard to believe that there were more M1 carbines issued in WWII than any other type of small arm. The ballistics are pretty anemic. Were they worth a hoot in battle? P Better in hand than a 1911 or so it goes. Issued to beaucoup alt.s and Capt in combat Better than a 1911 ain’t saying much, combat-wise. P

There's a sucker on every corner.
I've already got a pristine 1944 Inland. Don't need a rip-off from Larry. Bought 16-18 yrs ago. With two stocks, paratrooper (with jump bag) and full wood stock. And plenty of ammo.
Yeah. That $1800 number must have been a typo. It was actually $1899 and $1999. So it came with the folding stock and D bag? Or was that aftermarket that the original owner threw-in? I've been looking for one for forty years. I've run across a lot of the aftermarket Paratrooper stocks, no original D bags. Most of those were dry rotted by the 80s. I own a really nice Inland 44 mfg that my uncle carried in WWII and brought home ... but my holy grail has always been a paratrooper. Buddy of mine in Atlanta scored one a few years ago that he says he is going to sell me one day but he'll probably outlive me so his doesn't count. This one is mine.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

P 30 carbine at 100 yards hits like a 357 mag at the muzzle. Research indicates otherwise. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m just going off what I read. Standard load was 110 grain fmj at 1990 fps. ‘The .30 carbine cartridge is essentially a rimless version of the then-obsolete .32 Winchester Self-Loading cartridge introduced for the Winchester Model 1905 rifle.[17] The propellant was much newer, though, taking advantage of chemistry advances. As a result, the .30 carbine cartridge is approximately 27% more powerful than its parent cartridge. A standard .30 carbine ball bullet weighs 110 grains (7.1 g), a complete loaded round weighs 195 grains (12.6 g) and has a muzzle velocity of 1,990 ft/s (610 m/s) giving it 967 ft·lbf (1,311 joules) of energy, when fired from the M1 carbine's 18-inch barrel.“ A 357 mag fires a 125 grain bullet at 2200 fps.

Willing to bet if’n you got shot in one leg with a .30 M1 and the other with a .357 you’d not know which was what after you took the blindfold off.

There is a reason it was abandoned. While good in hot humid climates, it was prone to jamming in cold. Korea exposed that. Special lube was developed to keep it working in sub zero conditions. It was fine in the Pacific. It was a good choice for the ARVN because the low recoil was easier on the slightly build ARVN troops than the Garand or M14. Marvin didn't get many M16s until we were pulling out.
The M2 variant was an ammo hog with a high cyclic rate of fire.
Magazines are the key to proper feeding and function. I'll go through the various 15 and 0 round mags and mark the ones that function flawlessly. The others I will bend the lips to help improve the feeding, and that often works with a little tweaking. Bad ones I mark and set aside.
As for stopping power, there are many stories from Korea of the quilted cold weather clothes that the NORKS and ChiComs wore preventing penetration of the M1 round. The Garand sent them to meditate with Buddha.

No kidding. He can keep 'em. It doesn't look like he'll have to keep them. It looks like all he's got left are a few Inlands for $1149. The $1800 number thrown out above must be a typo, Midway shows prices from $1149 to $1399. There's a sucker on every corner. I've already got a pristine 1944 Inland. Don't need a rip-off from Larry. Bought 16-18 yrs ago. With two stocks, paratrooper (with jump bag) and full wood stock. And plenty of ammo. Yeah. That $1800 number must have been a typo. It was actually $1899 and $1999. How is being a current buyer a sucker? Because you bought 18 years ago? What is that person was 5 years old 18 years ago? How is he to buy one beside GB and GA? Not to mention have you seen the prices for M1 carbines lately? Would you care to sell me you carbine for the price I bought mine, 4-5 years ago for?

P Jim Cirillo was pretty fond of them. What did he know? All he ever did with them was shoot guys. I don't think he was even a member here.

You need to do your diligence. I do. And no. Mine's not for sale. I've been offered $2500 for the gun from a close personal friend and I turned it down. That did not include the paratrooper jump bag and stock. It was originally a gift to my Pop, who gave it back to me when he knew his time was getting short. It was the closest thing I could get to the cut down stocked M2 he carried in the Sherman with him across Europe.
