The M1 Carbine saw initial service during WWII in 1942. It was built as a lightweight rifle to be used as a short-range carbine within 300 meters. This rifle was never meant to be a full-blown battle rifle, which was somewhat of a change in military doctrine for a fighting rifle. The tiny carbine saw service throughout WWII, Korea, and even into th...
Today you can still buy surplus M1 Carbines, but the prices of those rifles are usually well over $1,000 and they can show their wear. A quick search on GunBroker.com will show that WWII M1 Carbines can sell for over $4,000 in great condition. Enter Auto-Ordnance. If you want a new production M1 Carbine, built to original GI specs, then look no fur...
While testing the AO M1 Carbine I experienced no malfunctions or failure to feeds through nearly 500 rounds of testing. During my time with it, I did not clean it and only applied lubrication to the receivers and the action. The best ammunition that ran through the weapon was hands down the Hornady Critical Defense 110-grain loads. In my years of s...
While hunting hogs in Texas, it’s legal to shoot them from a moving truck while on private land. Keeping a weapon short and effective to shoot out of a moving truck is important. I have had great success with AR-15s in the past, but I wanted to try something different this time. Benjamin, TX got a lot of rain this spring. Almost too much. While it’...
I enjoyed my time with the M1 Carbine reproduction from Auto-Ordnance. From handling older M1 Carbines to other more recent reproductions, AO would take the cake in my opinion for the best reproduction. The Parkerizing is thick, and it holds up well to the elements with a simple coat of oil. With the rain we experienced, all the coated steel had no...
Modern M1 Carbine mags come in a few flavors and are produced by several brands including ProMag and KCI. You can even get them in 30-round capacities and 10-roundersfor those of you in ban states! Auto Ordnance also makes mags for the M1 and they’re solid. They aren’t Glock mags cheap, but a steel magazine that is cheap is…suspicious.
Reliability: 5/5 Roughly 500 rounds were put through the M1 Carbine from Auto-Ordnance while I tested and evaluated it. Only once I had a failure to feed, and that was completely my fault when the reciprocating charging handle clipped the side of an obstacle during cycling. It was complete user error on my part. Using Hornady Critical Defense loads...
The reproduction M1 Carbine from Auto-Ordnance is a winner in my book. Whether used as a hunting rifle, plinker, defensive carbine or truck gun, this light-weight accurate weapon will serve just about anyone well. Paired with the history and nostalgia of the weapon, any gun collection will do well having it among the ranks. Have you ever got your h...

Aug 22, 2012 · Had a class with a young man tonight who brought an Iver M1 carbine, matte stainless finish with a black plastic folding stock. Got it from a relative who bought it some 30 years ago, apparently never fired. Does anyone have experience with this weapon? I couldn't figure out if it was reconditioned or a full-on repro. He didn't know too much ...
