Let's all be civil and understanding of how much time we have. Nobody here "has no life" for spending more time on here than anybody else. During the day, I personally check in here briefly I go on the computer to check stuff, where as at night when I have some time to waste, I spend a little more time on it. Now let's all shake hands and keep ourselves as equals, this is not a caste of who has the most time to waste.

Speaking of M-1 carbines, I found an old M-1 carbine at a gun show being sold as part of a private collection by a licensed dealer on behalf of widowed friend of the family.
WWII bring back, still had the double cell mag pouch on the stock, nearly frayed into sling, and was beat to hell and gone, including a rattling top plate, but man, to think of the stories that weapon could tell. Sadly, didn't have the 300 bucks for it and I couldn't bring myself to haggle over it, having visions of a widow struggling to get buy on VA death benefits and social security.

I saw a 4506 in going for $350 with like 8 mags along with it a few years ago. Too bad I didn't even have a dollar

I've always thought the M-1 Carbine is a bit underrated in the grand scheme of firearms history. It was innovative, but suffered from a lack of a suitable cartridge. I've found it telling that the Germans were very fond of them, issuing out captured ones in great quantity.
Not quite an assault rifle, but on the verge of one. However, I feel the urge to quote Stephen Hunter, via his proxy Earl Lee Swagger, the .30 Carbine wasn't worth a cuss, and Earl Lee made it a point never to trust a man who carried one.

Since my Kukri is all muddy and I do not feel like washing it off, the Pinata bat my grandpa got in Mexico when he was 15 is taking it's place next to me bed

As for me, I spend most of my life right now at a desk in the library, so this forum is one of the ways in which I procrastinate.
