What was your first semi automatic rifle
My first semi automatic was an M-1 Carbine, manufactured by IBM. I am a baby boomer, and in the early 1960's, carbines , ammo, and accessories could be found in virtually any Army/Navy store, and for around twenty bucks. Loved the rifle, and it functioned flawlessly, however, I could not hit the broad side of a red barn with it...Alas, it went away! I compared the M-1 Carbine with a beautiful wife totally devoid of any usable skills, save, looking good. It's okay to kiss me honey, but don't muss up my makeup..Babe she had to go! Just for historical value, I would like to have it back, as a hanger, not a shooter.
