Can anyone remember some of these movies with M1 Carbines
M1 Carbine - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
Great List. And there are still other movies that belong on the list, like the Sands of Iwo Jima, with John Wayne (who carried a M1 Garand, while others carried BARs and Carbines).
There's a classic shot of Errol Flynn being parachuted into Burma (Objective Burma) carrying his M1A1 carbine.
Brings back old memories. My dad took me to see To Hell and Back with Audie Murphy when it first came out in '55 (I was 8 years old)
Thanks.

If I remember right the old TV Series Combat had the LT in charge of the platoon was using a .30 Carbine a lot. When I was a kid I always wanted to be the BAR operator in the squad though. Of course the TV magic had the BAR operator using 500 round magazines though. Plus the gun barrels never got red hot or melted either.
The BAR carrier was Caje.Quote:

just like the 60 shot revolvers before a reload in the cowdy movies JimF4 also they had extended ranges
The AMC Series "Hell on Wheels" about building the transcontinental railroad did a very interesting scene that did not follow the typical "movie" gunfight.Quote:

I understand this was a common thing to do with cap and ball revolvers, but seeing it in a fictional TV show was an interesting touch of history.

Well first of all your list is well outdated. Just off the top of my head in the TV category you have to add The Walking Dead, and then there was a mini series in the last couple years about the mob in L.A. during the late fourties The character in kind played by Jon Bernthal who also played Manny in the Pacific and was also in the first two season of the Walking Dead. And then there is Tour of Duty and China Beach as well as M.A.S.H. And back to movies how about Windtalkers and Hell is for Heros .
And then we have to go back to TV. The BAR operator was Kirby not Caje who shot his M1 left handed and Kirby reloads often. Oh and if you notice in most firefights Lt. Handly seldom puts his rifle to his shoulder and almost always hits what he is shooting and as often as not it has a type three barrel band with the bayo lug. One last Combat trivia the Thompson that Saunders carries while the squad is just walking around was made of balsa wood so Vic Morrow wouldn't have to lug a thirteen pound weapon around.

Oh and if you watch Clint Eastwood in Pale rider he does the cylinder change at least twice the second coming as he is walking down the street for the final gunfight.
i believe Lt Hannley(Rick Jason) from combat carried the m1 because it was lighter than the thomason. i think that m1 was used to end his life in real life. Some sort of health issue and he took his life with the M1,also the combat series was filmed on the same lot as Andy Griffin show
Same lot maybe but a different back lot. It was the MGM back lot and so many battles fought in that same village. After the fourth season MGM cut off the contract because of all the damage. Losing their lot was one of the things that killed the series. the other two was the switch to color film in the fifth season and money. Both Jason and Vic Morrow were under paid compared to other series at the time. The producers realized that if both Morrow and Jason were in the same episode they had to pay the both so through the last season they were seldom in the same episode.
I have the whole series and have watched all the extras.:thup::madsmile:
