I've been looking at ammo prices on 30 carbine and they seem to be quite favorable when compared to the 223 so it's been getting me interested in the M1 Carbines. I mean I can buy a case of 30 carbine for about what a good case of 9mm costs.
I'm not too well versed on my options though. Should I stick with a surplus carbine or buy new? I'm leaning towards new only because I think I might like to put a rail on it and I don't want to ruin a piece of history. If I do buy new who makes them?
If I go surplus what things should I be on the look out for? Are their makes I should avoid? Should I buy one in person or is there a good website/store I can go to get a good deal on one?
Also who makes the good mags?
