Milsurp After Hours

Bob has wanted one of these since we watched episode 1 of Band of Brothers the first time.

An original was completely out of the question and the repro's have been close to $200

by the time you add in shipping so when this one showed up on the falfiles trader board for $130 delivered I jumped on it.

It is in excellent shape and the handguard in just beautiful.

Any more or less acurate to shoot with a wire stock?

I don't consider the M1 Carbine to be that accurate to start with, but consistent head positioning becomes more difficult with the folding stock, so accuracy is likely to drop.

Whats wrong with accuracy for its purpose? It wasn't meant for measuring minute of angle at 100 yards. It's a fine minute of bad guy rifle out that far and some more. It carries a lot of bullets, and is automatic as well as being a light carry.. Athough it was meant as a second line rifle, it had an advantage in rate of fire over k98's at a close range and more than just the airborne used them in the front lines by choice..

I have seen exactly ONE picture of a U.S. soldier holding an M1A1 Carbine. Forget where I saw it, he is standing with his back to the camera watching a column of troops pass.
