Many years ago, my younger brother had a Marlin .22 LR rifle that resembled the M1 carbine. It had a 10(?) round tube magazine, rather than a detachable box magazine. It was a lot of fun to shoot. He died last year very suddenly, and I just didn't have the heart to ask his wife if I could buy it for my young son. I've never seen that particular Marlin model before or since. I'd love to find one of the Erma .22 caliber M1 carbine look-alikes at a decent price and in good shape.

Best regards,

Dave
