    Getting More Comfortable with My M1 Carbine

    I just field stripped it and reassembled it after cleaning without having to refer to the manual. It took about 3 minutes to disassemble and about 5 to reassemble. That is pretty good for me. Now I just need to spend some time with my Garand so I can get proficient with it.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    You are both wrong, he did his record time in field stripping and reassembling with a M-14. On the other hand it was between the M1 and the M16 in service so you were both close if that makes you feel any better.

    I almost went with the M14, but talked myself out of it based on it being Veit Nam. Should have went with my first instincts.

    Your accuracy is improving as well, I think you scored a 77 on the postal match this month.

    The m1 carbine is a fun shooter. I haven't had mine out for a while...

    It's also an excellent home/farm/ranch protector - especially for the women and churlins.

    I was out at the PD range this weekend and went through 300 round qualification session with one of mine. Been carrying a Ruger PC4 police carbine for a year or so, and though I like it and the fact it utilizes the same ammo as my Glock 23, I decided the M1 carbine I used to carry on duty was more accurate and had a little more 'umph' than the .40 S&W. The PC4 is going in the vault and the .30 carbine is going back on duty.
