Here is an earlier thread of mine with some excellent videos showing the M1 Carbines capability.

Its a dyeing gun in reality. Its a damn good cartridge. who doesn't want a pistol cartridge that can use light 110 grain bullets and generate as much muzzle energy as a 44 magnum with 240 grain soft points?
IN reality, the 300 black out has most likely replaced it in its given role, and the ability to use 220 grain bullets kind of makes you rethink heavy and long bullet versus short and fast...

I like it because it saved my life in VN, more than once.
Ammo was cheap for a while, then started to get pricey. Straight cases are easy to reload your empties with Dillon equipment. Berry makes a good bullet that sells at $91 for 1000 or 9.1 cents each. No reason to run out of ammo.

I also like the Rainier plated bullets, just a s cheap. 14.6 grains of WW296, and they print the same POA/POI as the 110 Remingtons.

If 7.62x39 did not replace the .30 Carbine, neither will .300BLK, which is most useful with a suppressor in the subsonic loading. As a full-speed rifle round, .300 and 7.62x39 are ballistically very similar.

Especially since I started on the original Culver forum. That had to be about 1998.

The 300 B.O. has more versatility than the carbine, and with light bullets, a bit more power. But it generally doesn't have the "curb appeal" of that old war horse. I have both and love both of them, but there is still something about the feel of that old walnut stock. Plastic just doesn't feel quite right.
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
