Anyone ever make a bolt action on .30 Carbine?
I want to say I paid $800 for mine on Gunbroker. Can't remember if that included shipping or what. Came with 1 mag. There is a company called Triple K that will make spare mags for $58. Meanwhile "new" Automag III mags are going for $240-$350 on ebay!I've always wanted one of those, I've seen one in real life though and it was stupendously expensive lol

If the M1 carbine had been chambered for a .223 round with 3,000 to 3,300 fps muzzle velocity, we would have had something better than the M16, and had it 20 years earlier.There was a Ruger revolver that was chambered in it awhile back. Besides that the M1 carbine rifle and 30 carbine cartridge are more or less married to each other. It is unfortunate as I would like to see both the rifle design and cartridge to get more development. A carbine in 223 or 300 BLK would be a bunch of fun. Best I get back to living in the world as it is instead of how I wish it was.
Yep! And it’s called a Mini-14….If the M1 carbine had been chambered for a .223 round with 3,000 to 3,300 fps muzzle velocity, we would have had something better than the M16, and had it 20 years earlier.
.......and it's still not better than an M16.Yep! And it’s called a Mini-14….
No argument from me. I’ve got both….......and it's still not better than an M16.
Same here, Ive got Minis, ARs, and Carbines. The Mini isn't best at anything, but does everything well enough. The best thing about a Carbine is most indoor pistol ranges will let you shoot it once you show them the cartridge it fires- I say this because a disturbing number of range employees nowadays have never seen a .30 Carbine round.No argument from me. I’ve got both…
Enjoy both. But yes.

Did we mention the anemic properties of said 30 Carbine? From a reloading point of view, it is the only cartridge I have seen that needs carbide dies AND case lube... Had the Marlin lever and while it was fun to shoot, someone else liked it more and the profit from selling was more fun than the shooting. Only thing I have yet related to 30 Carbine is a Crossman M1 carbine BB gun...Yeah, I know, "underpowered" but I'm fascinated by the round. Does anything on the current market shoot it besides the M1 Carbines?
Of course, I have already checked gunbroker. None listed.That Taurus CT30 looks like something I need. I don't know why, but I need it.
I found this piece on TFB about the carbine.Of course, I have already checked gunbroker. None listed.
Supposedly they had so many QC problems that Taurus had to buy them back from the Brazilian cops.That Taurus CT30 looks like something I need. I don't know why, but I need it.
