Where could someone buy an Iver Johnson 30 cal carbine?
I have one myself, was wondering what they might be worth now. Have had it since the late 80's Can I find out when it was manufactured from the ser#? Answer They were made from 1985 to 1993, so you might still find one in the used gun rack at your local gun shop, at a gun show, or at an auction (local or internet).
The item in question was an Iver Johnson .30 Cal M1 Carbine. Full wood stock, described as in 'Good Shape' Came with two 15 round magazines. The guy was asking $300 for it.
Now, I know next to nothing about M1 Carbines. But, the price caught my eye. IF I was going to buy a new gun right now, $300 is about the top of my range.
I will do some research here, but wanted to post first, since I'm not sure how long it's been for sale. I have heard some complaints that the factory .30 Cal loads are mostly Soft Points, and fairly anemic at that. So, what I'm wondering is, first of all, is $300 a good price?
And second, in the hands of a reloader, what kind of ballistics could I expect from a .30 Carbine load...compared to say, a .357,( I realize it's closer to a pistol round than a rifle round). Thanks for anyone's input!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
