RE: Carabine 30 US M1
dudz, we all start somewhere when we start shooting. So I will make an effort with your post. yup you may indeed have an m1 carbine. Stick to thirty caliber m1 carbine ammo; try no substitutes. Also, keep your carbine clean and the bolt and rails lightly oiled. This weapon will fire when the bolt is not fully locked. Always, always wear ear protection and shooting glasses. Good shooting!

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

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......

Is that correct? I can't imagine that to be a safe way of telling
