Well yes they were the most produced but its not like they are any less worthy of owning. I like them because they were probably the most common carbine found on the frontline and they were made by GM. So they have a lot of history.

Should I be wary if someone is selling a USGI carbine on somewhere like gunbroker for significantly less than 900-1000?Well yes they were the most produced but its not like they are any less worthy of owning. I like them because they were probably the most common carbine found on the frontline and they were made by GM. So they have a lot of history.

M1 carbines are awesome little rifles!
My unscientific evaluation of the cartridge left a little to be desired ~
Took the M1 & the 357 to the range along with a bowling ball. Multiple 30 Cal rounds just bounced off, while it only two rounds of 357 to bust it up Completely. Again, unscientific - and just maybe the 30 carbine "loosened it up" but the results were quite clear to me........WTB: S&W 617 4" 10 shot Pre-LockComment

Why not a Ruger Mini-14? Half the price of an M1A and very similar.Comment

Yes. They are not snap-together like AR's. Years ago parts sets and receivers were a dime a dozen and a lot of it got bought up. I know a guy that has boxes and boxes of receivers, and short of barrels and stocks, probably has enough parts to build a hundred carbines. There are people putting them together that don't necessarily know what they're doing. Unless you have a lot of faith in it's history you should get an expert to look it over, either before or after you buy it.Comment

I sold my Mini to finance my M1. .223 brass is around $.30/round; 30 caliber is around $.32/round. Kind of a wash in my opinion.
Also, I absolutely hated the way the magazine inserted into the Mini - angle in the front, rock back, and hope you got it right. If not, rinse and repeat.Comment
