Need you guys' help! I'm looking to get myself m1. I'm going for either inland or plainfield. How many carbine bros are out there? I need to know the reliability (not buying GI). Also how well do the 15 and 30 rounders work on them?

inland is GI
Do you think it's worth it?
>ammo not as plentiful
>30 cal
Pic related is my 1943 Inland! :)
>>28261328
So should I go Plainfield? Any reccomendations?
>>28261353
How easily is it to get ammo
>inb4 i can't get it shipped easily to state
>>28261360
How do you like it?

It's so fun to shoot. Perfect amount of kick, sounds awesome, and it's soooooo smooth when charging the bolt. Fuck.
Makes me wish I had this femanon do a lewd about my M1 instead of my BCM http://vocaroo.com/i/s16YW0Suy9xv

Thanks for the input, anon.
Deff looking into inland a bit more now.

Why would you NOT want a Inland?

I don't know much about carbines. I know Inlands are about 600ish in MA (where I am), and I'm interested in purchasing one so I asked /k/ for help =\

$600 is a decent price for a carbine. most 30 round mags you find are not going to be that good/reliable. the best mags are original GI mags.
theres no reason to not get a m1 carbine. low recoil, good firepower, light and handy. its basically shooting a 357 magnum bullet
Are there pointed bullets for .30 carbine?
What about auto ordinance ones? If that's the same thing plz no bully

>$600 is a decent price for a carbine
Wtf really?
They're around 300 euros here.

There is no reason not to buy USGI. With aftermarket you dont know if they will have parts interoperability. If anything breaks thats usgi you can easily get a replacement.
With regard to 15 and 30 rounders. I have 10 usgi 15 rounders and have never had a problem with them. If you do buy a usgi carbine you will have to look at the clip latch to see if it can use 30 rounders. The earlier m1 carbine clip latches are not compatible with the 30 rounders
>I have 3 30 rounders I cant use because of this.
You can always swap the clip latch for a later one though.

A non mixmaster inland is usually around 800+ here
Mixmasters I would do 500-700 depending on parts.

.30 carbine is round nose. I am sure you could reload with some 'pointed' if you can find them.
>>28261918
Generally you can find a pretty good mixmaster m1 carbine for cheap. Beware of the blue skys though. Some of them got bent barrels from the import stamping too hard.

Versions like the IBM are always mixmasters.
Pretty crazy that M1 carbines are that much cheaper in Europe than in America.
>>28264636
Wow, thanks for the help guy. Big time!

Certain manufacturers did not make all of their own parts is correct. Those are not considered mixmaster. Mixmaster are those + others which have had parts swappage all over the place during service and numerous upgrades like flip safetys and type 3 barrel bands.

The M1 carbine got sent to many countries like the m1 after world war 2. It was more cost effective to leave shit in europe.
Some guy stationed at a base in germany found a few crates of m1 carbine mags. They were new rewrapped mags. He must have gotten them for pennies. He was selling them for 10-20$ each depending on markings and had like 500 a create. There is shit loads of usgi stuff in europe you just have to find it.

Like what?
Honest question, I'm on the verge of setting up a collection in the EU with US guns from Vietnam, and Russian guns from Afghanistan.
