Re: Action story from Denmark PICTURES
Major,
I've owned about 1/2 a dozen on them... even a scoped universal (in a trade)... the BEST of them, with a scope, was 5" at 100.. and the worst ... well, it LOOKED the best, was a DCM from the 60s, ,and it couldn't hit THE PAPER at 100 consistantly...

now, at 50 , all of them were more or less minute o'paint can... fine and workable..


accurate? there's a reason it's not still in service, and other than the m14 and johnson, the shortest serving rifle

Sorry but I do not know a lot about M1 Carbines. They used to be throwaways here, but now a junky one has an asking price of $450. A very nice one from WWII can bring double that.

The M1 Carbine had 2 problems. First, they seldom shot better than a 1 foot group at 100 yards. Second, even if they hit their target (game, human), the target often did not know it was hit. But they are fun, and good for kids to play around with.



Bullshit!! The M1 carbines were very accurate!
