I know Auto Ordinance builds one, but I would love to see S&W build a military style M1 carbine. I've got several government issue carbines but would love to have a S&W for a shooter.

I wish you hadn't reminded me of the two GeneralMotors M1's I sold so long ago. I'd just about forgot that stupid move....

I have no problems shooting my Blue Sky marked 1943 Inland.
I guess my Carbine never read the negative comments about import marked Carbines. It is very accurate and functions 100%. (Good thing I cancelled its internet account before it found out how bad an import marked Carbine is supposed to be.)
That said, I agree that if S&W produced a new M1 Carbine, it would be tempting, particularly if it was priced less that the AOs. I have a hard time with the price of an AO given the simple design of the carbine and modern manufacturing methods. But it seems that S&W is moving towards more guns with a lot of poly in them so I won't hold my breath.

That would be terrific. I like AR15s just fine but I would trample over a small pile of them for a couple nice, mil-spec M-1 Carbines.

i love my Ruger Mini-14 ( could not afford an Ar-15 ) but my most precious firearm is my Plainfield M 1 Carbine ... this one will never leave me ... at NO price ... so much good handling and fun to shoot ..

I'm afraid you're right. Distressing, isn't it?

Have you all checked Fulton Armory's M1?
Fulton Armory | Home
They remanufacture them -pricey though $1500
Their write-up sounds good
