....and thanks for all the comments. I have six carbines and while I love the little rifles I don't know that much about them. Most of what I know I got from my dad who was an MP in WWII and was issued one. He guarded prisoners in Mineral Wells Texas and was issued an M1icon Carbine. He was able to get his hands on large quantities of ammo from supply so he would shoot 500-1000 rounds a day while watching the prisoners that were on work detail. He said the Germans always picked on the little guns as being a kids toy.

In any event it got me wondering about what the guy said as my dad was really a "behind the lines" guy and had the carbine. He liked the "Springfields" and the "Big M1's" but they didn't really have many them around his POW camp so it really got me wondering if there was at least some truth to the post.

Thanks for all the comments.

Sincerely,

Bob
