M1 carbine straight pull
Have been looking at the M1 straight pulls that are now for sale. Quite fancy one for short range work.
Has anyone bought one, and how do they shoot?

Re: M1 carbine straight pull
I quite fancy one myself, cashing in on the new relaxed (and sensible) converted Sec 5 attitude trail blazed by the L1A1 conversions, these M1 carbines are the real deal with WW2 dated receivers I believe.
I wonder if you get similar extraction problems?
Very nice to own and shoot one...Orignal Garands have to round the corner, now a straight pull WW2 dated Garand would be very cool indeed!

Re: M1 carbine straight pull
There ARE straight pull Garands already - they were brought out about 20 years back but never sold in huge numbershuntervixen wrote:Orignal Garands have to round the corner, now a straight pull WW2 dated Garand would be very cool indeed!
Not sure about the M1 Carbine straight pulls.
Owned a civilain version of the carbine pre-ban, loved it - one of THE most fun things to take to the range - and my first "rifle" .
I learnt to reload because of it (try buying M1 carbine ammo in the UK in the early 80's !!)
Still got the loading kit for it & a good number of cases/bullets, etc.
Have also got the 2 volume set "War Baby" - the bible for anything M1 Carbine related
But the straight pull ?, to me, a bit like buying a Ferrari F40 & sticking a 2CV engine in it: it'll work, but it's not going to win any races!!
IF you never had hands-on of an original, then you'll not miss the difference - just they aint cheap!
As they say - your money, your choice

Saw some a Bisley Trafalgar fair, look great.
Thought of getting a .22 look alike but the Chappa didn't get a good review.

Re: M1 carbine straight pull
At over $2000 US for a straight pull, a wee bit over priced me thinks.
