Legacy Sports International has the M1 Carbine in 22 Lr
They are coming out shortly with the M1 carbine chambered in 9mm I have been waiting for just such a little carbine after I sold the 2 marlin camp 9's I had for such a ridiculous price I think anyone would have. The M1 in 9 mm in a compact little carbine will be a nice addition to a collection I think, I hope it goes well and they release a .45 too. I had one Marlin carbine ion .45 years ago but when they started selling for over 700 I sold it, you can't even find one now. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/04/25/citadel-m1-carbine-9mm/ I hope it take S&W mags http://www.legacysports.com/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=52&cntnt01returnid=47 |

That seems like such an obvious no-brainer that you have to wonder why nobody ever attempted it before.

I hope Legacy chooses a good common 9mm magazine. I would say Glock mags would be a good choice since they come in 10rd to 33rd.
There is a definite market for a good reasonably priced pistol carbine. Something a little better looking than the Hi-Point. |

Quoted: I hope they are built well. View Quote Last week we finally got one of Legacy's wood stock .22 M-1 carbines in. From a few feet away it is hard to tell it from a real .30 M-1. I looked it over closely and I was impressed with the quality of the finish and smooth action, but I haven't got to fire one yet. |

Chamber one in the original Norma-spec 10mm Auto, and I'm in.

Want want want wanty want want!
It would be awesome if 9mm repliguns would be the next big thing. |

An m1c in 5.56 = shutup and take my money. 9mm/.30 carbine are about the same, why not have an original as carbine ammo is not hard to find in my AO.
No, not a mini14, a carbine in 5.56. |

Interesting, but I can only imagine what it would look like at the 450 price point.

Yeah, well. The picture looks pretty neat, but if you read a few of the comments, you'll find out that the receiver is not steel, but is cast Zamac (the same zinc alloy shit that Hi-Points are made of). And the bayonet lug is "synthetic". WTF is up with that? Maybe they'll offer a synthetic bayonet to go with it.
I think I'll just stick with my Rock-Ola. Which reminds me: James River Armory, formerly of Baltimore, has moved to someplace in NC, They bought the rights to the name Rock-Ola, and are producing new "Rock-Ola" M-1 carbines. And they're not made of Zamac, either. And don't have a synthetic bayonet lug. |

If its not a standard mag its not worth the time, we shall see.

View Quote Unless you can find a 9mm running almost 2000 FPS, the .30 Carbine has considerably more oomph then the 9mm. |

ARFCOM, you guys are weird, i started a thread on PCC's and you said they are worthless unless SBR's.
now they make a fudd carbine and you guys are all over it? |

What is wrong with an original (or even commercial) M1 in .30 carbine? The.30 is much better than 9MM (both power and penetration wise).

View Quote Because M1 carbines are stupid expensive for what they are. If this thing is decently built and has a less than $500 price point I'll consider it. Would pretty much be the perfect truck gun especially with a folding stock. If it takes glock 19 mags I'm all over it. |

A mini 14 has the same gas system as an M1 Carbine.... Yeah, but I want the "Fudd Carbine" look, not just another mini. As for the .30/9mm comment, I was pointing out that the caliber change doesn't really fix the issue most GIs had with the carbine - lack of punch. Even a 10rd 7.62x39 M1C would be a major improvement over the original if just changing caliber, but you would wind up with basically an SKS. I would still want it though because I have a metric shitton of x39. |

Use existing cheap surplus SMG mags or Beretta 92 mags or something jesus. One of my dream guns is a .45 ACP Marlin Camp Carbine that takes grease gun mags. That would be cool as fuck. Nobody will ever make it. |

I think the biggest benefit is going to be ammo cost. A decent M1 in .30 is going to push you to $700 or better too. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

That's ok but I'll keep my Sterling carbine. And it takes 32 rd mags. and it's all steel too. How about that.
