Universal .30 carbine first model

[big open]

Yes, I like the M1 Carbine myself and enjoy shooting my Inland Motor Div. piece. There are currently 3 G.I. carbines in my safe: Std. Prod., Inland Motor Div. & Saginaw S.G. The Inland M1 is my shooter since it has a replacement stock but all other parts are original G.I. I picked up a repro. M1 Carbine bayonet that fits very well on the Inland and looks great on it.
I reload for the shooter using 110 gr. hard cast lead bullets that function and shoot quite well in the Inland. At each gun show I attend I pick up at least 100 M1 Carbine cases and small rifle primers because I'm afraid before much longer they might not be available or cost prohibitive for myself anyway.

Not to worry big open, .30 carbine food is being produced in multiple countries so you could buy some and reload cases after. Philippines (Armscor), Serbia (Previ Partisan /PPU), Mexico (Aquilla) Czech Republic (Sellier & Bellot). Cost is the only factor and competition keeps prices down. If the prices go up the Turks start producing.
