Well I was at the LGS to pick up a few loading supplies, and some percussion caps for shooting this weekend. I noticed a WWII commemorative M1 Carbine on the shelf. It looks pretty. From what the manager says it is a consignment from a guy that bought it. Fired a box of ammo through it. Put it away, and now is selling it for money to buy an AR. The trigger felt a little heavy other than that it seemed ok. I admit I have been looking into getting an M1 carbine just for fun.

Ok well I will cut the chase with my questions.

1 Do any of you have experience with these rifles? If so what do you think of them?
2 Is $398 for LNIB with 2 mags a decent price?

Note I reload, and cast lead. If I pick this one up ammo cost is a very moot point. All I would be buying is brass, primes, and powder.
