Thanks!

The first center fire rifle I ever fired was in 1960 when I was 8, was an M1icon Carbine. I have an affinity for them ever since. I also grew up knowing my dad and two uncles had carried them in WW2.

While I am not a collector, I have generally had at least one M-1 carbine continuously since about 1981. I used it as an LE trunk gun for years, and generally use one for a house/farm gun. I have taken deer with a carbine, also, so I know they can be lethal.

I admit I am fonder of this one than any I have had, and it is the best shooter. I do wish it could talk. A while back, I had a late Inland with original Type II sight and barrel band, and I liked it, as that is what my dad carried on Iwo Jima. It was well used, but the problem was a bad bore and minute of milk jug accuracy at 25 yards! It would not even pass on the 25 yard target the used for checking after re-build. I found it a good home and got this Underwood.
