RE: M1 Carbine- enough to hunt piggies?
Every year around this time the piggies come to feast in my orange grove like its a darn buffet! My M1 .30 cal is the perfect (i think) remedy. It's light and the 30 round clip is great for follow up shots. Perfect for walking around the grove. I've read a few articles stating within 50 yards it punches just as much or more than a .357 mag. If that is true or not I'm not sure but it puts the piggies down with no problem.
