The M-1 Carbine has been extremely popular with American soldiers, German soldiers, Korean soldiers, Vietnamese soldiers, and a great many other countries. The American’s made 6.5 million M-1 carbines, more than any other weapon in WW2.
So what’s the deal? Is it as simple as just that the Carbine was light and thus popular mostly with people who never had to actually fire them? Or is there something more going on? Today we are speaking to Ken Hackathorn about this question. He has a lot of experience with M1 Carbines himself, as well as discussing them with many first-hand military and law enforcement folks who used them.
KCI USA, INC. makes high quality M-1 Carbine magazines in both 15 and 30 round capacity.
