Never fired an M1, but would surely take an M14. I loved it. === There's a world of difference between an M1 Garand and an M1 carbine. The Garand shoots almost as well as an M14 but is less convenient to load and reload. |

Without going through the NFA process you are not getting an M14 but Springfield Armory will sell you an M1A Semi Auto version of the M14. I paid $600 for mine but that was over 30 years ago. I think they are more like $1600 now. These are accurized versions of the GI model, made for people shooting "high power". You can also buy a chinese knockoff a lot cheaper and they are not horrible if you get one with the better quality bolt. There were problems with the earlier ones. You can get a USGI bolt but it may need to be fitted into the receiver by a gunsmith, I got the "carbine" thing out of my system with my Ruger 44 mag. I would like a box magazine for it but I don't shoot it often enough to make it a problem. Why would you want a 9 pound rifle? |

If you do not have to carry it all day, that weight and physics makes for more enjoyable shooting. We shot M1 carbine in USAF training. Nice low power rifle. I had a Ruger 30 carbine revolver years ago. Only firearm I got rid of. Friend wanted it and I did a 3 way trade for a Colt 357. The pistol was the 3rd loudest pistol in existence at the time, early 1970. |
