Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
I'll probably see if I can pick up an IBM. I've been looking to pick one up since I retired from IBM a few years ago.
The ones in the wild are over-priced and a bit of a crap shoot. The ones from Midway will be over priced but maybe just a little less of a crap shoot? Midway posted an update a bit ago on the condition and "repair" history and it wasn't all that encouraging for getting one with full IBM lineage imho. But all I really want is that "I.B.M. CORP" stamp on visible parts -- I'm not a purist.

Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
It is hard to justify it. Not the cost. Just a gun equally as long as an ar15 with a lot less in the way of ergonomic benefits and customizability. Especially given it is in a mid sized caliber that so few other guns can use.
I get that it is a different philosophy. But if i were going to spend money, it wouldn't be on guns passed around from country to country with no accountability for the inspection given.
I suspect they'll sell out quickly anyway.

Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
Super easy to reload for. I've reloaded thousands of rounds of 30 carbine. It's more fun to shoot than even a .22. Wish I never sold my Inland. It's cool Midway is offering them but the price is pretty high.

Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
For women, kids and smaller shooters the M-1 carbine is much easier to control and more fun to shoot. It is light, has a better balance point and it doesn't have the big muzzle blast that can intimidate new shooters. Petite women and kids can comfortably shoot it standing. There is a little more "kerchunk" of the action but with negligible recoil new shooters have fun tapping away and know they are shooting something more than a .22.
I do believe some if the listing will sell out in days (or less). Carbines have been going for over $1100 for a while now and some of the manufactures Midway is posting are rare. Paying a couple hundred over a generic Inland is a no brainier.

Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
The cost they have them at is hard to justify to me for what it is. They made millions of them and to me it's not a $1500 firearm, maybe $750 I could see.

Re: M1 Carbines at Midway
People dont buy them because they are the best gun for the money.
I have a empty spot between my M1A and M1 Garand.
