M1 Carbines in Paris

[frankderrico]

I noticed some of the Police/Military in the Paris affair this morning on the T.V. were armed with M1 carbines. Thought that might be of interest.

I was watching and thought i saw a M1 carbine however my next thought was I must have been mistaken. Rather odd IMO but a decent gun for working in confined areas compared to a longer bolt rifle.

I saw that carbine too! Then I thought, no, it must have been a Ruger Mini 14 or something. So my 60 year old eyes are better than I thought!

Maybe a mini 14? This little pic? Can't find any footage though...Reports: Paris Attackers Dead | NewsRadio KFBK

Not from the last few days, but it's a better picture of the Mini-14 armed CRS.

I saw a Mini-14 just less than an hour ago on FOX Report

But the report of M1 Carbine? Anyone find a pic?

[frankderrico]

I may have been wrong. I thought the 1st. pic I saw this morning was an M1 carbine, with a wood H.G. and a carbine mag. I certainly could have been mistaken and saw a Mini-14.

I like the stock - it almost looks like there's an oiler in that slot. If they're using slings, I wonder how they are attached at the front? The factory stocks came with a sling swivel attached at the bottom. - Bob

Now I see the sling, but not how it's fastened at the front.

Wonder if we can find some detail on this?
