So I get this month's issue of American Rifleman and what should be in it but a write-up on the new Auto-Ordnance .30 M1 Carbine.

Now who wouldn't want a really good copy of this great and fun gun. Realistically, it isn't a mainline infantry arm but it wasn't designed for that. What it is perfect for is fun and it would be a great light recoiling defense gun for someone who doesn't shoot a handgun well. This is especially true when loaded with soft-point ammo. Surprise, surprise that's what it was orgininally intended to do!

Well, I guess this has to get added to the list. I've already got about 500 pieces of brass saved...
