Maybe when I was 5 or 6 years old...

That would be a great way to break in my grandson, but it is more than an Erma 22 M1 Carbine!

[Dave-In-Maine]

That was my first carbine, but mine was the later version with the plastic stock. Heck, I think it's still kicking around somewhere.

The price seems right--I saw one recently at a gun show for $150 with the wooden stock.

And it still has it's magazine, those are usually missing...

[JimF4M1s (Deceased)]

It would be fun to have. But the buy it now and delivery of $318 seems like a bit too much fun for me.

[Bill Hollinger]

Yeah and look! It has a type III barrel band shadow!!! It's a bad restore job!

I always wanted one and begged my parents when they first came out. I had a Daisy, and they said that was good enough.

Daisy Red Ryder, and it was good enough for me at 6 years old in 1955.

I was too young to know anything about WW2 guns. They made that M1 Carbine BB gun to intice my Dad, not me.

[imarangemaster]

When I was 6 (in 1958) I got my oldest brothers original Red Ryder BB gun. When I was about 9 or 10, I saved allowances and bought a Daisy 99 lever action with a wood beaver tail forend and stock, and target sights. It looked like this : http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/141/...TFgrX4b5E1.jpg

It was accurate. I set up toy soldiers in the garden and played sniper with it from my upstairs bedroom window! If you want to cry, I actually had a "C tip" carbine sling on it that I got from a surplus store for a buck...
