Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Took it out for some exercise this afternoon. Nice day. Lots of gooey mud though. I was going to set up the new shooting bench I got myself for Christmas but I reckon I’ll wait for spring.

Tom Bullweed Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I set up two M1 Carbines for DCM/CMP matches in the early 1990s. Great gun out to 200 yards. Everytime I see one in original condition, I hear it firing ten rounds in 60 seconds. Thanks for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Back in 2005, my oldest daughter was 2 and my oldest son was 6 months old, my wife drove them to the CMP south store. There was a massive rain storm and tornado watch and an overturned tractor trailer along the way. She picked up for my Christmas present a winchester m1 carbine service grade and a H & R correct grade. I still have both. That was a good Christmas.

Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 My Dad bought a DCM Underwood in the sixties through the mail. I have it now. He never fired it. I've never fired it and it looks like it was never fired. Still have it in the original shipping box from Tooele, Utah with the wood blocks and that padding that looks like toilet paper.

Captain Clark Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Many years ago (36) I took a pretty young lady I was dating out on a Saturday to shoot my Carbine and generally crawl around the Sandhills in west Texas. She immediately took a liking to that little put together M1 parts gun and burned thru a 30 round mag until it quit running. I was shocked… she broke my carbine! Guess I won out in the end as a new extractor put my M1 back in service. As for that girl, she owed me after that so she married me! I’ve had a few other carbines since then, but my wife’s as pretty as ever and still considers that Carbine hers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I learned that lesson too. I took a pretty girl on a date to a shooting range. She had never shot a gun. She took to it like a natural, and claimed my favorite 22 as her own. 30 years later she still considers that Ruger mark 2 to be hers. to all you young unmarried pards, when you take your girlfriend to the range, don’t take any guns you will be sorry to lose ownership of. back to carbines, mine is an Inland. Great little gun, lots of fun. Paid $149 for it and sorted thru two barrels of them to find the one I liked best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
