Ode to the lowly M1 Carbine...

[Seaspriter]

"re-appretiation" of an old friend, and my confession that I had drunk too deeply of the AR/AK Koolaid!

Actually you did us a great service imarangemaster. The videos on shooting accuracy at +200 yards were a real eyeopener. I had always considered the M-1 carbine a 100 yard and under weapon. There is too much emphasis on "horsepower" (the AR/AK mentality or BIG Ammo mentality) and not enough on what many consider the "right priorities:"
1) Reliability
2) Ease of Handling
3) Accuracy
4) Rate of Fire
5) Force of Impact

Too many have got the priorities reversed; most of these people have never been in combat and experienced the realities of the battlefield.

Guess I couldn't resist sharing two of my favorites -- a real Inland M-1 and it's baby brother -- a 1980 Marlin 995 XLE M2 in .22 caliber with target sights.


Thanks
