Universal M1 Carbine Scope?
Hey everybody, Just thought I would share and ask for some input. My dad has a Universal M1 Carbine. It has a "Red Arrow" 2.5x32 scope on it, (he bought it that way). We don't use it for much more than just plinking rounds and just generally screwing around. I was wondering if you guys think we should leave the scope on, or take it off and just go with iron sights? The scope is pretty nice to have, but it makes cleaning a PITA. I would appreciate hearing your opinions. Thanks.

Carbines, even Universals, don't need scopes. Screws up the balance.
You still have the iron sights on it?

Yep. The scope is mounted so you can still use iron sights.

the visually impared or those who can't figure out how to use the sights. My SIL is VERY recoil shy and we want her to be able to use the carbine, but she can't use the sights.

I appreciated the humor, even though it was some pretty dry humor
