A really good buddy of mine has an M1 carbine…he took it shooting with us this past Sunday…it is an extreeeemely accurate rifle…I was surprised!!

I know very little about that particular rifle and did not expect it to be quite as accurate as it was…are they generally very accurate?

They are normaly as good as the shooter

accuracy varies quite a bit depending on the condition of the muzzle. I'm working on a study right now to show the effects of muzzle erosion on carbine accuracy. I've got the 50 yard test results for 10 carbines so far. I'll be testing another 8 tomorrow and hopefully another 7 this coming weekend. Several of the ones that have decent muzzles (M.E. under 2.5) are surprisingly good averaging 50 yard groups under 1.5 inches. The best 5 shot groups are under 1 inch! I think that pretty well sums up the accuracy potential of that little rifle.

Well, I got screwed again...CMP sold em all out before getting my order processed Due to Erroneous Information from the NICS Instant check ( that I have been trying to get straightened out for 2 month or so and I've been fingerprinted 4 times now and They still have Me on a DELAY basis !)...so I still need a Reciever to replace this one that Blew apart into 5 pieces !
