Great article. I just inherited a NPM M1. Looking forward to putting a box of 110 grain through it.

Back in the day, my M1 loaded with 110 gr. Sierra HP accounted for many an Oregon Jackrabbit.

I bought a Blue Sky Korean re-import in the 1980s as well, although I was a bit older than you. Mine is an Inland. When my son was old enough I gave it to him, and he became a real Carbine fan. I think he owns at least three of them by now. They are, above all, extremely fun to shoot, just as you wrote.

I have one manufactured by Underwood from 1944 that I picked up in the late 70s. I had to do some work on it because the action was pretty worn but it still shoots and was used to hunt deer when I still lived in Missouri up until the 90s.

I’ve still got a bunch of those post-war US made M1 Carbine bayonets in storage, the real deal. Picked them up years ago back when there was a neighboring defense depot that had auctions. Gave some away over the years. They were just mixed in with a bunch of assorted lots stuff we bid on that had some items in it were were looking for.
