I was given an M1 carbine from my father-in-law. The gun was his dads from war time. Gun still shoots awesome!!!! I actually live in Saginaw , MI. As he stated a lot of the parts were made here in my home town!!!!!

[@VhexLegend]

My name is Bailey from SoCal. I remember years ago as a teenager wanting to get into firearms and randomly coming across a channel that I watched for hours hoping to one day shoot guns and have fun like they did. This channel was Hickok45... fast forward I am now 24 and found myself back on this channel owning a SigPro and a r870.... so glad you're still making videos through these past years. I hope your family and yourself are doing well. 👌🏼

[@hickok45]

Thanks for your long-time support. Glad we could catch you and ruin you as a teenager! :-) You'll suffer the same addiction I suffer from for your entire life.

[@alswann2702]

I watched an interview with an old vet who carried one from D Day to VE Day. He loved it and said it performed flawlessly as long as you switched out mags monthly. I also saw an interview with a Belgian who watched SS troops happily pick up M1 carbines from captured Americans during the Battle of the Bulge while they they left M1 rifles behind. He snuck back in the middle of the night and got two rifles, the carbines were all gone!

[@mh53j]

My dad got one for $25 in the early 60s; my uncle took it to the base armorer, said less than 200 rounds had been put through it. Dad had the stock polished so it looks like glass- it's beautiful. It's now a family heirloom. Love shooting it, very little recoil. Oh, think it's IBM, with a bayonet lug; got him a bayonet one year for father's day, made him really happy!

[@shadeshiest22]

Awww that’s the first center fire rifle I ever shot as a kid, I could barely aim & shoulder it! Brings back sweet sweet memories! My best friends(who lived in an old tiny farm house) dad had a buddy who ran into money issues and needed a fast 200$ dollars to borrow, so he brought a few guns to hold as collateral(didn’t come get them back for almost ten years and let us keep a Mosin nagant for taking so long!😂) and this M1 carbine was one of them! Up till that point we only had/shot a .410 and a marlin .22, so getting one of these M1’s to shoot on 30acres to run wild as 12-14yr olds with no parents with us was mighty fun! We even tried to hide in a an old tobacco barn to jump out and blast(“hunt”) a deer if one had happen to come by😂… Also it was the first gun that bloody “bit me” so dam bad trying to clear a malfunction too, so definitely learned a lot from that old gun… man it sure was different times in the 90’s growing up, my kids are around that age now and I couldn’t imagine giving them even a cricket.22 to go shoot on there own in the woods! Kids are just a different breed today I swear, or hell maybe I just was!

[@mr.faulkner724]

The newer Korean made 15 round magazines are available on the market and seem to work great.

[@Pepe-v1o]

:)

[@던킨도우너츠]

Good

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

Same experience here. The Korean M1 carbine magazines are very reliable AND inexpensive. Finding affordable good quality .30 M1 ammo is harder than finding reliable magazines for it.

[@loboheeler]

My 15 round magazines are all USGI issue likely from the Korean war era, and very reliable. Have not had good reliability with the 30 round M2 mags though. A friend that used an M2 in early Vietnam said the 30 rounders were usually lousy in semi-auto fire.

[@lykeju]

@@loboheeler Not sure why, but I've found that loading the 30 rounders with 25 rounds or less improves the reliability. I've also found that replacing the springs periodically really helps.

[@jmichna1]

Wonderful topic for a video, Hickok! My father carried the M1 carbine in the Pacific Theater during WWII (he was a radar operator in the Signal Corps, back when portable radar was considered a "secret weapon"). I finally acquired my very own Standard Products-manufactured M1 last year, manufactured in March-April of '43, and it too was re-fitted with a bayonet lug. It is a sweet shooter, easy on the shoulder.

[@soggyfroggy7291]

The M1 Carbine is and has been my favorite gun out of all the guns I have seen/shot. It is just such a cool gun. It's easy to load the mags, easy to reload, really lightweight, and really easy to pull the bolt back, and it's one of the most fun guns to shoot. I love that you made a video on it. Thank you hickok!!

[@pj61114]

Yes reminds me of the RUGER 10-22. Both Great carbines.

[@johan8969]

Truly a one of a kind. While everyone was rushing to build a semi automatic rifles in WW2, the US was already building a compromise between a rifle and sub machinegun since they had the Garand. And while it lacked the stopping power of the Garand, I imagine those who carried it appreciated the lightness, increased mag capacity and faster rate of fire. A Garand kicks like a horse compared to this nimble thing.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

My old hometown, Saginaw MI made over 290,000 M1 carbines in 1944-45. They came from the Saginaw Steering Gear plant.

[@Nunya9876]

That’s a beaut! Imagine all the history it could tell if it could talk. Thank you hickok45 for the many history lessons and showing us how firearms really work, as well as how to handle them properly. Your work is really appreciated sir!

[@werre2]

I have a Standard Products M1 Carbine, 1943. I like it. It is unmodified, no bayo lug, because it's one of those left in Europe. Unreliable compared to AR or AK or SKS.. but with good mags - mostly reliable. Good to 100 meters to hit 20cm plates every shot. 150 meters and above - let's say it's good to have ammo capacity. But they get hit. It's a 100m gun.

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

I always find myself coming back to YT to watch videos on the carbine. Great that you guys made another one. Special day, special gun

[@stevehei8035]

I bought one in 1995 from a WWII Marine for $150 which it has his serial number engraved on top of the bolt! He told me when coming back from Europe after the war they where not required to turn them in. Great little shooter. My grandfather who was I WWII who saw action in Europe and Okinawa this was his weapon system and showed me how they would break it down for field stripping.

[@bennycash7769]

I loved the bayonet charge, mess and all. It was meant to charge through the mud, blood, and grit and keep shooting, but now she's a collectors item. I personified it and saw it getting to relive its valor days and I got sentimental. Like that video of the old football player scoring another touchdown 60 years after he stopped playing.

[@lockednloaded7830]

I have a standard carbine that I inherited from my dad. He bought it in the Anchorage area back in the late 50s. It has the same rear sight and safety but no bayonet lug. Someone installed a red recoil pad (never understood why) but it's been that way my whole life so I don't intend on changing it. It's not the most reliable and has no bluing left to speak of but I treasure it dearly.

[@deadhorse1391]

The so-called “Type 3” (T4) barrel band with the integral bayonet lug was standardized in late 1944. By this time, the only carbine prime contractors still in production were Winchester Repeating Arms and the Inland Mfg. Like most you see this one was rebuilt after the war with bayonet lug, rear sight, safety, stock etc. I used to buy and sell M1 carbines and is very hard to find one that hasn’t been redone. Many have been redone and put back to original figuration by sellers…be careful. Look for marks on barrel from bayonet lug Couple years ago I finally found an all original 1943 inland that the man had sent back during the war. I got it from his widow for a very good price. Was missing the sling but did have the stock pouches and was in the original canvas case Havent shot it but maybe someday, have probably 1,000 rds of ammo M1 carbines are great guns and if loaded with soft points are viable defense rifles I think

[@ccgrider1014]

Yes, The type 1 "highwood stock" and the bayonet lug don't go together, but still a nice piece. My NPM is all original with the type 1 stock. I love it!!!

[@sammyprestwood3182]

I owned the m1 carbine from the Vietnam era with a sliding wire stock it had a 30 round magazine I remember selling it for $75 oh the things we regret today that rifle worth an arm and a leg now my dad used to say thanks for the video hickok

[@deadhorse1391]

The the sliding wire stock were after market, the WW11 Military M1A1 Carbines were made by Inland and had a side folding stock Lots of repos of them out there

[@cynthiakoehne7004]

In 1997 I was at a now defunct store in Salinas Ca, called Trigger hill, and they had a grade A1++ Arisaka rifle from "Cheaper than dirt" with the Chrysanthemum crest intact with all the bells and whistles cleaning kit and all parts from the factory numbers matching, I did not buy it because the only ammo they had was loose corrosive junk, but I came back next week after my gun guy said "BUY THAT RIFLE NOW", well it was sold the day before, so I bought a Persian Mauser they had in the same condition, just saying that when you get the chance to own such a gem "DO NOT PASS IT BY" I'll never part with my Mauser, but not a day goes by that I do not regret not buying that Arisaka!

[@jason200912]

Why didnt you let your gun buddy buy it. It's fine to buy for collecting and not shoot it. We got modern guns for the mag dumping.

[@richardpcrowe]

During my in and out tours In-Country Vietnam (I spent an aggregate of 32-months In-Country as a combat cameraman). We didn't have access to the M-16. Our weapons were the Colt-45 and a choice of M-1 and M-2 carbines. I purchased a folding stock mail order while I was in the States. After that, I carried the stock in and out of Vietnam. I would then switch the stock for one of my unit's carbines. It was a decent weapon and very easy to carry. I chose an M-1 carbine because the worn out M-2 carbines we had in our armory had a disturbing tendency to drop the 30-round magazines while the weapon was on full auto. I don't think that it was only the fault of the magazine because it didn't happen with the M-1, even when I fired quickly. Something I learned recently was that you can load the weapon with magazine inserted - by using a stripper clip from the top of the action...

[@SmokeyRidgeRunner]

I had always thought the M1 carbine wasn't all that great of a rifle, and then I inherited a original issued Inlands and after shooting them my mind was changed ... I felt bad for judging a book by its cover and discovered the rifles to be super light weight and packed a Punch. won't let that happen again

[@Hashiriya714]

Same here, just because something is old or older, it doesn't make it obsolete or useless. I added the M1 Garand and M1903 Springfield to my collection as well.

[@jason200912]

It isn't that great but it is the lightest rifle comparable to an ar but in a fat 30 cal just like an ak

[@nickliberto6583]

Inherited one and cleaned it up. The barrel was like glass and after the oiling and such, had a real masterpiece. I have a matched weapon made by Winchester. Serial number indicated it being produced in Oct. of 1944. The original magazine didn't allow the slide to stay open with the last shot. I picked up some spares and they have been modified with a little lip on the spring to keep the slide open. At less than six pounds, it was easy to carry with. The smaller, .30 caliber comes in 110 grains and is rated to be effective up to 400 yards. These days, I don't see that far and I would offer that the weapon is better suited to closer targets. Measured against the M1 Garand, the punch is far less than a 30-06. Giving the GI a 15 round magazine, helped this to be a great rifle and never mind the bad rap of not enough penetration. This is about as effective as a .357 mag. Really nice piece of work.

[@ichimonjiguy]

It's a very pleasing looking M1 carbine. The metal patina is about right. The wood has a little more dings than I like. The bayonet lug gives it the "assault rifle" badge of honor.

[@goetzliedtke]

I see a Marine carrying a carbine every time I visit the Albuquerque VA hospital. He's bronze and carrying an M1 carbine and a wounded fellow Marine. I'm talking about the statue of (then) 2nd Lieutenant Raymond G. Murphy, namesake for the Raymond G. Murphy Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented Lt. Murphy with a Congressional Medal of Honor on 27 October 1953 for his actions in Korea on 3 February 1953.

[@drivesideways6550]

I love that little carbine. Wood and steel. The wood hand guard is just so classic. Someday I'll have one! I just got a Uberti 1858 revolving Carbine, (black powder) that I haven't shot yet. That would make a fun video too! Merry Christmas to you and the Family!

Hickok45 has to be one of the most timeless channels on KZbin, I have been watching since I was 16 just got my fn 509 a few months ago at 23 and want to get a Glock 23 now especially looking up reviews and coming back to your channel to watch the 23 being shot, I catch a video every now and then, coming back for the informative, funny, and thorough commentary (and of course the shooting) that makes this channel feel more of like a range buddy or a passionate dad instead of just some guy reviewing guns and the personality is what really makes this channel what it is and I always appreciate the slow pacing and consciousness that comes with experience and patience and will always enjoy a hickok45 video. With that being said I hope you guys have had the most fun creating content for these video throughout the years and I hope shooting never gets boring. Take care guys.

I have an early Winchester M1 carbine! Original sling with multiple mags! Shoots like a dream! In a pinch I’d grab it to defend myself…. I’m sure the gun has been in that situation before! 😅

[@ElliottCollect]

I've got an oddball M1 Carbine with a Bianchi sliding metal stock on it. The stock is modeled closely after the M3 Grease Gun. It was my Grandfather's since the 1960s but it is an absolutely blast to shoot. All of my magazines are fairly new out of the wrappers so they fire great and I don't have any jams. My aftermarket one like yours shoots very reliably and I had a bigger one that I had to modify because the slot was all wrong. Congratulations on your anniversary and here's to many more!

Additional: I picked up my M-1 Carbine 1995-1997 in very good condition and it came with a magazine pouch dated (1943) and a sling manufactured by Inland Mfg Div. - GMC (9/1943). It is a lovely piece of US military history. Vietnam vet.

[@thomasschreiber9559]

I used to own an M1 carbine, it had an IBM action with a GM barrel. That dagger style bayonet was also made in a non bayonet combat knife. It wasn't too well liked as it's blade was prone to breaking when used as a survival/bushcraft or prying tool. It lacked the multipurpose usefulness of the Marine k bar

[@aaronlopez492]

The M-1 carbine rifle is one of my favorites. Thank you for highlighting at Hickok. Happy New Year y'all.

[@MrZee1967]

Being from Canada, we are limited to barrel length for restricted rifles at 18.5" and under...any M1 that is above 18.5" is rare and a keeper!

[@corneliuswowbagger]

Hickok I am your age. In 1967 I bought a new Ruger 10/22 walnut stock and all. At one point it was stored for about 25 years. The only problem was the original magazine had to be replaced.

[@jon2bec2]

I have a Standard Products M1 carbine manufactured about June or July 1943 in Port Gibson Ohio, one of the first 8,000 they manufactured out of the 240,000 they eventually built The upper handguard has the original two rivets instead of four, it has the highwood stock, it has the flat forestock not bellied, it has the flat bolt, the push button safety, and the flip sight. Stock made by Winchester, barrel by Underwood, no bayonet lug, but has the original slim barrel strap. It has never been refurbished it is all original. Bought it from an old boy in Baton Rouge in 1980 for 50 bucks. I use it to shoot at coyotes. You read that right I just shoot at them, dont always make a hit, my fault. I use the critical defense ammo from Underwood. It is my favorite gun. So light so maneuverable.

I know, our gun shows are boring. I met you once in Somerset , Ky. we talked. Do you ever consider coming back up here. I was, gun dealer, back in the 80"s. If, I had known then, prices, items, I would have saved MANY firearms. . M1 carbines, dirt cheap then. These are fun as heck. Many firearms you show, were cheap then. Depending on sights, versions of this carbine, takes A while to get used to. I traded both of mine. Yes, I was A dumbas& . I regret this decision, and, many more. There was A quote? " Hindsight is golden" . You have done same, sir. You may not admit, yet, you once did on this video? LOL. I did save,1964, SKS , pot belly stock, blade bayonet, and an old, Cobray M-11 , Remington 552, BDL. There A few more, these are most interesting. The reason for this carbine, all know. For intended purpose, they rock. More rounds than , Colt .45. Peace and prayers, John.

[@rongarrett1366]

The lieutenant in the TV show "Combat", played by the late Rick Jason, carried an M1 carbine. Many front-line troops, including Colin Powell, complained about the M1 carbine's lack of stopping power. Powell was given an M1 carbine when he was an observer working with South Vietnamese units in Vietnam in the early 60s..

Watch the Combat series all the time. Have all the episodes on vhs tapes. The only reason I still keep a vcr 😬

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

I reckon it all comes down to what the weapon's actual intent was to begin with. The carbine would certainly be no match for an M1, M14, or M16 in terms of maximum range or ballistics as a rifleman's primary weapons system. But it was handy, light, reliable, easy to maintain, had virtually no recoil, and offered .357 mag comparable ballistics at just about any range in which a target could be spotted and engaged with the naked eye. Even in 2022 it would still be all of those things in capable hands.

[@erich.2550]

Colin Powell was a dumbass. He must've forgotten that this very weapon took Bugsy Siegel out. It's more than capable in the right hands, and obviously, Powell wasn't very capable.

[@p99guy]

Long about that Time I carried A 1943 Underwood ( Singer B receiver) as a Deputy Constable. Still have that carbine. They are great law enforcement carbines. The Bayonet lug made its debut at the Battle of Okinawa Along with the M4 Bayonet ( previously carbine carriers were issued a M3 knife… but as the M4 was a modified M3, it completely replaced the M3 knife… even for those that was issued a M3 Greasegun . Okinawa also introduced M2 select fire kits, and M3 Infrared “sniper scope” The first thing I did when the Constables office got our carbines in from isreal ( they did a stint with the Israeli police) was to replace all the springs on those 10 carbines with Wolff spring kits…. And nobody had any problems with thiers. I would still trust mine in a serious situation. I got my first M1 carbine at age 10, so I have 50 years with them! And other platforms. I was 12 when I got my first AR15 SP1 , such good memories.

[@sidripster506]

I personally like everything about this rifle except what you said the weak point being the magazine. My first rifle was a Glenfield Marlin 22 long rifle very similarly shaped. Thank you and Merry Christmas that's when I'm watching this LOL

Handy for small spaces, but way less than the stopping power of the M1 Garand.

[@donniecaudill7026]

I just got the urge to get mine out and gave it a good cleaning this morning and low and behold. Here you got yours out to shoot for your anniversary. Got my Inland/General Motors 1-45 about 40 yrs ago. Bought it at Woolworth for about $120 iirc. They had a rack full of the carbines and Garands, can't recall if the Garands were more or not but picked the carbine over the Garand because I liked how small and light weight the carbine was. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have bought all of them. 😣

They cranked those out like popcorn back in the day.

Such neat little gun. It’s quite comparable to something like a mk18 carbine. Short, lightweight intermediate cartridge military purpose.

[@MrBobm001]

I missed my 50th + Anniversary of not having the M1 Carbine, as a Navy Vet had used these for guard duty on ship in ports during WestPac/VietNam the late 60s. A few months later after end of 4 year enlistment in 1970 while working as a citizen in Houston, a co-worker mention selling his M1 carbine, came to my apartment with his wife and sister-in-law, I paid $65. for the M1 carbine but next day he conned me into a date with his sister-in-law so it cost me a few more dollars. Once in while I would take it to my father's 100 acre farm before he sold it and hunt jackrabbits on the run. Sold it for $100. in 1971.

"Maybe he deserves to live.... OR MAYBE HE DOESNT" >:D *Laughs joyfully after dispatching the 2 litre with bayonet*

[@DCNootch]

Very cool weapon! Would like to own one myself. Love the bayonet charge. Lol! 😆

[@altonbunnjr]

I have a nice carbine I picked up a couple years ago. All Winchester parts with a Standard Products stock. A real fun shooter.

[@tomearly111]

Back in the late 60's and early 70's you could pick up surplus M1's for less that a hundred bucks. I had a few friends that bought them and they were fun shooters. You could get new replacements parts so if you wanted to bring it back to almost new looking you could. Probably now that might make many people cringe but they were plentiful back then and people bought them not so much for their historic value but for a fun shooting rifle. I knew people that would purchase M1's and surplus Mausers cheap and fix them up with new stocks and bluing to make some pretty nice guns.

[@crashoverride4881]

Great video, I have two of these. One is quality hardware, the other is you guessed it, a Standard Product. Both were manufactured in 1943. Love them both. I've had them since the early 80s. Again, great video.

[@Rustebadge]

Have owned 10 Carbines and an M2 Carbine. Some of my favorite firearms and with every trigger pull I honor those soldiers who fought tyranny using such tools of freedom. Loooooove the M1 Carbine. Several really great books on the carbine. note: 70+ year old firearms need a little extra love when providing maintenance or shooting. Enjoy.

My father is a Vietnam veteran that served under general Vang pao in the secret wars in neutral Laos. His company were assigned to guard the secret US airbase there. They also did search and rescue missions for downed US pilots within the country of Laos. He loves the m1 carbine and wants one so badly. I've been searching for one but sadly we live in commiefornia. It's hard to come by one these days.

[@RealJeep]

Patriots are bailing out of Commiefornia at a blistering rate.

[@jeffadams9807]

Auto-Ordance Still Make Them, They Are $850-$1000...

[@thatkajunguy8029]

I love old guns, unlike most modern firearms, I love the new ones too so calm down, they have class and character. Happy Anniversary to both of you

[@p99guy]

Old guns have charector, a story, a soul…. They almost speak in a minds eye. Ones carried in war has had some pretty tense emotions infused into them by the soldiers that carried it fear, sadness, but also hope. They relied on that hunk of wood, metal and the lord above to get them back home…. And sometimes the gun made it back, and they remain intered in the country in which they fell, forever a 20 year old. A brand new gun that just came off the CVC machine last month, is of course the latest greatest, a marvel of plastic and metal, but it’s waiting for its own story, adventures, and Joy by the people that own it.

[@plumdan]

I have a Inland reproduction, I should say my wife has one. We both love to shoot it, but she keeps it against her night stand.

[@columbia_gourmet3388]

The bayonet adds an amazing aesthetic to the rifle.

[@ShortbusMooner]

It's a beauty!! And, I'm watching on December 27th, 2022! 😁👍

[@Anonym-yr4qn]

The Fact that you can plant a Bayonet on this Gun, makes it even better.

[@larcombs]

I've had mine for decades , love this old carbine , thanks for the upload.

[@tigmantom6989]

Hickok I love all the commentary and history you give in your videos. I kick myself for trading off the one had. 🙁 One thing I need to find is a slip on extension for some of my rifles. Being over 6'3", most stocks are to short. Keep those great videos coming !! 😉

[@nkri8691]

I used that beautiful and fast gun of M1,or jungle carbine,also the marines type Awesome gun from ww2

[@dannywilliams3516]

Used to have an Iver Johnson M1 carbine came with 215 round clips first clip went through no problem second clip about halfway through it sheared the bolt and that was the end of that M1 carbine. Took it back got my money.

[@kbjerke]

My "Juke Box" carbine malfs like that constantly. So, I don't shoot it much. Happy New Year, Hickok45!!!

[@kbjerke]

@@tomsherwood4650 Going to be confiscated anyway. Oh well. Merry Christmas.

[@reginaldhayes1123]

My Dad carried one as an artillery forward observer for the 8th ID golden arrows . I finally found an affordable Universal in his memory.

[@morelenmir]

I am watching 2hrs after your upload on Tuesday the 27th of December, 2022. I _thought_ the trees had that dry and brittle look of autumn instead of soggy early winter!
