IBM M1 CARBINE OCTOBER 1943 MATCHING BARREL

Absolutely in love with this gun. Total satisfaction! I own quite a collection but this is far above the others. Great handling, low recoil, superior precision. A+++++
Ordered on Monday FFL dealer received on Tuesday.

So this came in great condition. Hand select wasn’t an option. I was a bit worried but it looks amazing. Took it to the range. I got an extra mag and sent 100 rounds through both magazines, it didn’t jam once. Great gun, at least mine is. It is surplus so thats always a gamble.

I have heard that a bolt gun chambered in .223 can safely withstand the pressure of a 5.56 cartridge. Is this true? I’d like to add a Ruger predator to my safe but I don’t want to worry about swapping ammo between the bolt gun and my AR. Or… can the Ruger barrel be changed out for a 5.56 chamber?

The transaction was timely and there were no issues. The regular email and text message updates from gunprime kept me posted on delivery progress. My local gun shop handled the transfer and background check very well.

Can my GALIL .223 safely use MAGHTECH/CBC 5.56 M193 NATO 55 GRAIN FMJ ammo which is widely available?

The cartridges listed above are plinking quality. Far from a match or best. M262 Mod 1 from Black Hills is phenomenal up to and including 500 yards and if the wind isn’t significant can do very well at 600 yards in a match AR.

Saw a 5.56 AR-15 That fired a .300Blackout. It did not look anything near as bad as the picture above. Not good that a 30 cal will even chamber in a .224

Loving this gun. For a military surplus gun it has been great. Shoots good and didn’t break the bank. I would buy again.

I have not shot this gun yet but the mechanics are very stable and sturdy. I look forward to finding out what this gun is capable of.

Gun came in very good condition, grips were just ok, but new ones are easily obtained. Replaced. First magazine through, jammed on round three. Cleared. Jammed again round four. Tore gun down and found extractor severely worn from active use, most likely with steel case ammo. Don’t use steel case ammo folks, it’s cheap, but will cause significant wear damage to parts directly in contact with the shell. Replaced extractor, spring and pin. Ran about ten magazines through flawlessly. I have a ton (17) of Beretta handguns, including a 92x Performance. This is certainly one of the top shooters! Thank you…
