No mention of a M1 carbine?
From what I've read, they are not the most reliable things out there, mainly due to the mags. Apparently, the newly made ones aren't that great, and most of the USGI mags have been used and abused for decades. I believe that Ian from Forgotten Weapons made the comment once that out of all the M1 carbines he's shot (both new and old), not a single one has ever been able to make it through a shooting match without jamming. Probably, your best chance at getting one to run perfectly would be to find a USGI carbine in great mechanical condition (no repros), and an almost mint USGI mag (again, no repros). Or at least, that's what I've been told.
They're still cool guns and I really want one.
