Hi All
Came here to learn about the carbine.
Held one recently now I need one.
But I been lurking and it seems a little tricky to get a fair deal with limited carbine experience.
So I hope to learn the easy way, which goes against my forum name. ;^)
Regards
Mike

Welcome aboard Mike!

You have come to the right place; the guys here are a treasure trove of knowledge and will gladly help you.  I have only been here a couple of months and already feel much more confident and knowledgable.

Good luck in your search.  I bought my first carbine at a CMP auction; not the cheapest price, but it was honestly represented and fully operational...I am very pleased with it.

Keep us posted on your search.
Semper Fi, Bruce

Mike, welcome to the forum. As Bruce said you have come to the right place to learn about Carbines. If you have not already, I suggest you read this old thread started by Why Carbines? Loaded with good 1st time buyer info.

Lots if info and a little unsettling for me.
I have more than a couple older handguns but they are straightforward for the most part.
I know a guy that has a bunch of the M1 carbines I better talk with him. He is an aquantince.
Thanks
Mike
