Three Foot Johnson Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I was looking for some pictures packed away in a box in the basement, and found a big ol' ammo can packed full of 50 round boxes of Wolf .30 Carbine ammo... I haven't had anything in .30 Carbine in awhile... so, what should I buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chantry Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Ruger Blackhawk, obnoxiously loud to everyone else, but minimal felt recoil and fun to shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I had a Blackhawk .30 Carbine one time, and you are correct about the noise! Also had a Universal M1... I think those are the only ones I've ever had in .30 Carbine. A USGI "shooter grade" would be nice, but even those are getting pretty pricey.

Michigan Slim Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'd get a new or used carbine from Kahr Arms. Wait... I have one. Well then, I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I have an M1 carbine, but I’ve always wanted to get one of the Rugers . I’ve been told they are a blast to shoot I HATE SPELLCHECK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Always thought the Blackhawk 30 carbine had a strange buzz in the grip when you fired it. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably exactly what this ammo was purchased for! I didn't realize I had any left. If I buy another M1 or reproduction, I'll probably go with a USGI simply for the historical aspect.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This is exactly the reason you shouldn't be digging around in old boxes in the basement. Now your going to feel obligated to buy something to feed that ammo to. Nothing good ever comes from digging in old boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would get a USGI Carbine, not one of the new repros. Some folks may have had good luck with the new re-pops but online reviews are very mixed. Besides, with all the gun hatin' going on lately it might become difficult to get anything with a detachable mag in the future, and if you're going to be stuck with one it might as well be a good one.

Cypress Sun Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Amt Automag III semi-auto pistol. A lot of fun to shoot and you have anyone who will want to crowd you at the range. You will have people asking "What the hell is that thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fun to shoot and you have anyone who will want to crowd you at the range. You will have people asking "What the hell is that thing". I handled, but did not fire one, it requires large hands. I saw one used in an IPSC style match years ago, the shooter, a Colt employee, ran one relay with the AMT 30 Carbine and proceeded to put on a wonderful tutorial on how to clear jams. The next relay he used a Glock, I don't think he used anything made from where he worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Whiskers Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 J Bar...Just out of curiosity I checked Zanders. They show 3 variant's of the Auto Ordnance carbines. I can't comment on the Carbine, but I have had 2 45 ACP's (got talked out of the 1st one) and still have 1 of them. Very well built and also accurate compared to my WW2 Colt 45 ACP.

Maybe he was using some downloaded ammo...........that would cause it to not cycle properly. You're right though, gotta have large hands to grip it correctly.
