Value of M1 Carbine

[lyman]

no carbine people in PA?

that is odd,,

they are relatively easy to work on, (as most GI stuff is) unless you need to rebarrel, and even that is not hard,

I wanted to line one up to check out the carbine if I decided to buy it, but that became unnecessary once I saw it’s incredibly rough condition. I did find Orion 7 in Rocky Point, NY who services and sells M1s, but I hate to ship guns. It’s the throat erosion gauge that no-one has.

On an M1 Carbine, throat erosion is a non problem. The use of non corrosive primers from the start, low flame temperatures and low velocity makes it so. Carbine throat wear is almost nothing. There never were armors gauges to measure it.

Good reason that no-one has them. Thanks for the info.
