I was on the Houston Police Dept from 1964 to 1990. In 1968 we had a riot at one of the local colleges. Our dept was completely unprepared and it was a mess. A short time afterwards we were contacted by a branch of the military and were offered surplus carbines. They were brand new, in crates. we contacted all the officers and purchased two hundred of the carbines for $47.00 each. Mine is a National Postal Meter brand. It took me two days to clean all the grease off of it. At one time I added the folding stock with a compensator. I also added and M-2 kit which I eventually sold. I still have this rifle and still shoot it. I can't believe what price they bring now. Great review.

I just found and bought a Underwood M1 carbine the other day at a local pawnshop for 600 bucks with most of the early features intact and appears to have the original barrel & stock and no import marks and in excellent condition to boot..Six hundred for one in that condition and still retaining most of the early WW2 features is a steal in 2018!!

I love my old M1 .30 cal.One of the benefits that wasn't brought up is that it's brilliantly simple to strip and clean.Another missed point is reliability. I tried to see how many rounds I could fire without cleaning it. I gave up when I ran out of money to keep perforating logs and still hadn't stovepiped.Simple, light, maneuverable, accurate and reliable.

I worked with a old guy who served in Korea. He was a little man and he said he hated the Garand because it was too big for him. He opted for the carbine. And he said depending on where you shot the Chinese soldiers determined how many times you shot him. He just pulled the trigger twice in succession.

The M1 Carbine was a favorite among soldiers during WW2 and after the war into Korea and the 1950s with it's versilitility being an advantage over full sized rifles and submachine guns.

I still have my father's. He was a Lance Corporal in the Marines. He was in DeNang from 69 to 72

Josh Man Parts availability is an issue, especially with a scavenged weapon and/or varying types of ammo being cycled through at a given time, which leads to an inconsistent maintenance cycle. Even in a factory new gun, there's no telling what parts are defective until they finally break. Which also makes aftermarket a huge deal. Common firearms fitted with uncommon upgrades are more valuable when bartering.

So simple , reliable and ideal for bush or town use . Still one of the best to carry in the farm truck.

Nice video. I really like the M1 Carbine too. Just a polite FYI. "Corrosive" center fire cartridges only have a corrosive primer that releases corrosive salts into the firearm when fired. It wouldn't have any effect on the outside appearance of the bullet or case.

Citizen Soldier by Stephen Ambrose had a story about an American Captain doing reconnaissance D-Day plus one or two, I can't remember. I am telling this by memory. Anyway, this Captain happened on a German Machine gun nest that opened fire on him from about hundred yards out. He took out BOTH gunners with head shots using his M1 Carbine. I was very impressed with that story.

One of my favorite rifles. Never misses the mark. 🎯

I have to play around with it to get it out and back in. The military video below gives an idea even the GI had to play with it. The OP rod or operating rod or slide moves the bolt, op rod spring loaded guide rod and piston driven. Other than the bolt its fairly easy to field strip.

Wow great find

I carried an M-1 Carbine during the L.A. Riots. Worked out great. I had no problem carrying 2-300 rounds. Mostly 15 round magazines. Ball and some AP.Most engagements were at less than 200 feet. 2 or 3 guys can lay down a pretty good base of cover fire from almost any shooting position. Forget folding stocks, the standard stock is much better balanced and easier to aim. Just to the north of us, the Koreans on roof tops were working mainly with UZIs which I didn’t think was particularly efficient. But in general they did exhibit good fire discipline.

Thx for doing this review sootch00 one of my favorite per-war weapons

My Pop had one. Loved it, beautiful weapon.

Thanks to share the M1 Carbine 30 rounds for us to see that M1carbine is my favorite Carbine in 1968-1980 in Laos I very miss my Carbine I very like your Carbine 2.

After my two years active duty were completed in 1966 I was attached to an active reserve unit and we fired these carbines . They were extremely accurate up to about 100 yards and the recoil was negligible .

I have a Winchester 30 carbine next to my bed. My daddy bought it Surplus through the mail in the mid-sixties for $50.00 I helped my dad wash off the cosmoline with gasoline, it's one of my great memories. The M1 carbine is a simple, lightweight reliable and hard-hitting round. I like reloading 30 caliber carbine ammunition, because of the straight case design, the brass doesn't distort easily and can be Reloaded many times.

One day I hope to save enough to buy one, this is my dream gun

Another excellent review from sootch00

SGT. Rock! Great reference to a comic book classic. Someday I'd love to own a vintage M-1 Carbine, the patina on the wood and metal telling a story or two.

Excellent review! Thank You! I have my Fathers M1 Carbine, it is a Winchester he brought back from the War in Europe, I treasure this above all my other rifles and would not part with it for the world. Still shoots like the day it was made!

Really enjoyed your comments on the much loved M1 carbine. So much history behind it and so much maligned by some. Mine is a WWII issue made by Inland but or course most likely with a combination of parts by other manufacturers from that time. It still is a good weapon as home defense as it has the stopping power equal to a 357 for close quarters. Keep those videos coming!

My dad was in the Signal Corps in WWII as a radio repairman, mainly tank radio repairs. He was issued an M-1 carbine and somehow made a deal with a supply sergeant to trade it for an M-2 with a folding stock. His buddies all wanted to borrow it for guard duty since it had a canvas holster for hip carry. I have no idea how he traded the rifles and whether or not he let his friends borrow the M-2 for guard duty. He told me this story back in the early seventies. I really enjoyed the video, keep up the great work!

My uncle had one as a squad leader in the Pacific. Hit a Japanese Soldier multiple times center mass (8 times as I remember) with no stopping power. Threw it away and took up a Garand from one of his unfortunately killed Marines. “Threw it in the surf” as I recall him saying. They also “dum dum-ed” their 306 rounds with bolt cutters as many engagements were up close. Garand ate them all and spit out death. When he went to Korea as a Plt Sgt, he held on to the Garand at Chosin. Killed a lot of CHICOMs.

After a recent visit to friends in Oregon, we spent a day at the range. The M1 was suggested to me, by a range instructor, due to the fact that several years ago, in my army days, I broke my shoulder and had it pinned back together after an incident with an booby trap and a wall whilst in the sand pit (iraq). The M1 is a perfect little rifle for an old grunt like me with shoulder problems After an hours practice, I was hitting a 6-inch circle at 100 yards, 43/50. And no shoulder problems :)

My older brother was a radio man driving big brass around in his jeep in Korea. He carried a 1911 45 Cal. in a shoulder holster, and always had a M1.30 cal. within reach. He liked that carbine so much that when he got home, he bought a 44 Magnum Ruger carbine which looked similar, for deer hunting.

I remember some South Vietnamese had these in the1960s!

At 5:03 "They removed these later on". Only the early M1s in WW2 didn't have bayo lugs. By Korea, they were standard issue. I'm not nit-picking.

Sounds great. Love that rifle.

You are a very good teacher sir. Very well made video very informative. Thank you. In the 80s and 90s it was so common to see local patrols usually young adults carrying these in Israel. Was super common. You would see them all the time. This is when the Galil rifle was the standard military rifle as well. You don’t see them in Israel anymore as most carry M4 today and fits both roles. I don’t know what the standard military issued rifle is anymore in Israel.

Very nice compact carabiner perfect for exercising
