Default RE: Carabine 30 US M1

ORIGINAL: dudz

I have a 1942 Carabine 30 US M1 with 15 and 30 round mags.

Can i use .280 ammo in this gun without modifications ? I understand the case is almost identicle.

Thanks
Paul
What .280 are you talikng about? The .280 British? Not the .280 Remingnton surely!!

I have seen a carbine modified to shoot some pretty unlikely rounds, such as a rimless .38/40 made from '06 brass, the 5.7mm MMJ, etc.. But rebarreling is required and pressures have to be kept around 40K PSI or less......
