I have a decent selection of M-1 Garands and 03 and 03A3 Springfields, but I have never really considered buying an M-1 Carbine. That is until recently. We hold a semi-auto rifle match in which you can use almost anything you want but it must be a military type rifle. Distances are at most 100 yds and targets are "hitable". The last time we held the match I noticed no one, not one single entrant used an M-1 carbine. Lots of AR's of course and a few M-1 Garands and some Sovieticon stuff. Total round count is kept to about 40 for the match.

If I wanted to use an M-1 carbine for somethiing like this does anyone have a suggestion as to what manufacturer would be a better choice for this type of shooting? In other words is a Winchester better than a Rock-Ola or Saginaw etc.

Thanks for any information you can offer.......
