I wasn't comparing that, I'm saying I've actually met people who have mistaken these guns together cause they have the same M1 in their names.

It can be confusing. My buddy, a fellow shooter, had always assumed that the M1 Carbine was just a carbine version of the M1 Rifle. (Which would be a fair assumption to make.) It wasn't until two years ago that I explained the difference to him.
