IMI (Israeli Military Industries) does not make M1 Carbines.
I'm pretty sure you mean IAI (Israel Arms International, in Texas). [url]www.israelarms.com[/url] I'm sure you'll hear lots of people say that these are junk because they aren't GI, but many the GI ones are nearing the end of their useful lives. The receivers get stress fractures and eventually let go. The new IAI carbines are great. Very high quality (mostly GI) parts, new receivers, and lots of attention to detail. These are not in the same catagory as the Universal and Iver Johnson crap. Springfield is also making M1 Carbine receivers now. I'm not sure if they're making complete guns. -Troy |

I have seen quite a few of these things. They look good and work great. Yeah, they are not GI, but the GI's are getting very pricey and harder to find. Like Troy said, they are getting old too, which could cause you problems if you like to shoot a lot. If you are more of a collector, then these are probably not for you. If you like WWII weapons and like to shoot, IAI carbines should satisfy you just fine.

Troy:
Does IAI ship the M888 with 10-round magazines for those of us behind enemy lines? |

Got one last week...walnut stock and upper handguard. Imagine being a GI and issued a brand new War Baby and that's what it looks like... BEAUTIFUL. Took it to the range and it fucnctioned 100%!!! The IAI is the most accurate carbine i've ever owned (6).
Yes it does come with a Klinton magazine, but there zillions of cheap (right now) 15 & 30 rounders. Buss |

I have an original Underwood M1 30 cal and I love it. It has a bayonet lug, synthetic pistol grip retractible stock, and steel ventilated heat shield. It functions flawlessly and its fun to shoot. But beware of some of the 30 rd mags. Some of them will not function very good. I recomend the 15 rd or 10 rd mags. They are straight and I've never had any trouble out of them.
