The M1 Carbine was so ineffective in Korea

Maybe one of the m16 5.56 blank magazines that are tinted red. They have a short followerand block in the body.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

The block would be in the front...maybe...the cartridge would have to jump a bit and that's never desirable. It might mis-feed. This is sounding more like something I should try. Problem is, it will become a one-off and I might never be able to sell it when I get tired of it...

The ultimate debate weapon ! The .30 Carbine and the M-16 / AR Platform . Both steeped in controversy to this very day .

Didn't know that, so spent a couple hours last night reading articles about the Olympic Arms PCR-30 and K-30 rifles. Found a good one started by Inland44 about 8 years ago on the old Battle Rifles (now Gun Hub) site. I can't find that link right now, but just read this one this morning that has a lot of good pictures of how Olympic Arms addressed the magazine issue.

Thanks Bob, they used the pistol gas and a definite dedicated upper. 1 in 12 barrel? Sure, that'd be better.

You could probably sell it. A lot of Carbine guys have AR platform too.
