Rusty Maggot, How does this compare to a 5.56 out of a 14.5 inch tube at 300 meters? I bet its superior to the M-4's at the same range. But a lot of people are complaining about the .30 Carbine's performance at "long range".

M1 weaknesses? The main complaint with the M-1 carbine in this thread seems to be the "anemic" performance of its 110 grain bullet. Yet, the US SOF community had been using 9mm MP-5s for years before they were mandated by DoD to "standardize" to the 5.56 M-4. Nobody in the community was...

What is your opinion on which rifle is superior for self defense/CQB purposes, the AK-47 or the M-1 Carbine? Why?

If you could get any pistol, rifle, shotgun, collectible, relaoder etc. you ever wanted, what would you ask for?

You may want to take a look at the Auto Ordnance "Thompson" M-1 Carbine (M-1 Carbine clone) which are going for about $525 at the gun shows. I've read a lot of good write ups in the gun magazines on this rifle.

1. A Para-Ordnance LDA, w light rail, Novak tritium sights, ambidextrous safety, 30 LPI front strap checkering, Smith and Alexander Magwell, and tan Strider G-10 grips. The slide assembly would be black, and the lower would be OD green. 2. A Para-Ordnance LDA in 10mm, SS, with Rosewood...

Mitch, Where did you get your front rail? Did it come with the rifle, or did you have to special order it from Kel-tec?

The classic Thompson "Tommy Gun", made by Auto Ordnance, a subsidiary of Kahr Arms, is a good choice. It also takes the 30 round USGI clips.

Pauli, To be competitive, it should be priced around $500-600.00. About what the current M-1 carbines go for. I've seen a huge increase in price of the .30 carbines at the gunshows, and thought that if a MAJOR manufacturer like ruger introduced a semi-auto in .30 carbine, that could...

All, Thanks for all of the insight on Lynn Thompson. I work with a lot of "strong" personalities, so his actions didn't seem all that strange or abrasive to me. As far as his swords being heavy compared to custom forgers, would that make them "stronger, but slower"?

Pistols 1. Ruger P345 that has the option to accept 1911 mags. 2. Ruger New Model Blackhawk convertible in .41 Mag, with a 10mm and .40 S&W cylinder. 3. Ruger Derringer. Rifles 1. Ruger Ranch Rifle in a SOCOM 16 configuration with an M-16 adapter, ala, the Remington 7615P...

Replies P95Carry: That's some BIG artillery you're sportin!!! Shoot Craps: THe .44 Magnum, which used to be "the most powerful handgun in the world, and could blow...head(s) clean off" is probably the largest caliber that I would be comfortable with outta all the choices. Its still a...

It must be why its such an obscure and little known round. I love the M-carbiine, and had heard about it doing some online research. I was hoping to get some anecdotal feedback to see how it performed, but so far it seems as if few people are singing the 5.7 Spitfire's praises.

Wilson 7 or 8 rounders have both worked fine in my Kimber.

EghtySx, OK, using the appropriate semantics, What size animal would a man be able to kill "firing" the Smith & Wesson 500, and "using" a heavy 500 S&W Magnum round, say a 400-440 grain , travelling at 2000 FPS?

Guyon, What caused the "hard feeling"? Is Thompson are difficult, opinionated sort of character? Or does the industry like to take pot shots because he puts out a good product?

Are there any revolvers that are stronger than the Smith and Wesson 500 and 460XVR frame? If so, who are they and what do they fire? What size animals can these rounds take down?

Does anyone know the history, specs, and ballistic effectiveness of the 5.7 Spitfire? Is it a manufactured round or wildcat? If its manufactured, who manufactures it? What are its specs? If its a wildcat, what is the 5.7 Spitfire's appeal when there are so many potent rounds such...
