Congrats on the carbine! I hate to tell you this, but you may already know it.... You are now an addict! Carbines are VERY addictive!!

Welcome to the club!

Oh Rylan, you did real good. Fine looking example of the genre.... And I can only add to what Matt says, they are addictive.... VERY addictive...... Don't ask me how I know!! Yeah, keep the vintage ammo. Shoot it with modern stuff.

Thanks to everyone for their comments, I decided to keep the vintage ammo, but shot all the stuff from the 50's+. The rifle was very pleasant to shoot, I had a lot of fun.

Does the rifle have a detachable springtube housing??

I'm not sure what that is exactly, but I don't think so. Are you referring to the recoil spring?

Matt, you're right they are addictive. But I don't see too many of these for sale in Canada, and when I do, they are always post war, or very expensive. I'm just glad I got one anyways, because I have wanted one for a long time. It would be nice to find an untouched ww2 original, but I'm guessing a lot of them are refurbs like Garands?

yea, the recoil spring for the op slide.

That's a very nice M1 Carbine. I loved it!
Congratulations!

Good looking rifle.
Carbines are a lot of fun.

BTW, there is NO cure for the addiction.
