[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 1828902, member: 23"] If you do a little research, you'll find that the M-1 Carbine was originally intended to replace of the .45 pistol and intended for troops who were not in front line combat. The bullet is a 110 grain jacketed round nose bullet. They are magazine fed and use 15 and 30 round magazines. My preference is the 15 round magazines. Where to buy? I bought my last one from the gun show in Shawnee about a year ago. It was made by Inland and I thought it was a fair price. I gave $650.00 for it. The guy I bought it from sells lots of military surplus stuff. The last time I saw him was in Okc and he had some M-1 Garands as well as Carbines. He is usually wearing some type of military clothing and chomping on a cigar that isn't lit. Brass is a bit expensive and a little difficult to find. Hang on to it and shoot it till it wears out. 110 grain bullets are not hard to find. H&H had some in their reloading section about a week ago. Just load it like a pistol bullet with a taper crimp and there should be no problems. I just found some Russian made steel case Tula and tried it out. No problems at all. Accuracy.... I can hit a paper plate sized target at 100 yards with no problem. [/QUOTE]
