Well, less crap...


Recommended Posts

 From Show and Tell to actual sight in and function test my tactified M1 carbine. 

I have a rather pricey single shot weapon as the Numrich over- receiver scope mount perfectly prevents proper ejection. 

Nothing more money shouldn't fix with a scout style railed forward handguard from Fulton Armory...and a new rear sight.

I am really hoping the Millet SP1 red dot purchased for the Numrich mount is still functional mounted that far forward.

I can recommend the Ultimak Forward Optic Mount as I have one on my tacticool M1 Carbine. Easy to install and stays solid. I've had this one for years and been very happy with it.

I call this my Zombie Gun. :D

Thanks for positive report since I  bought one, $90 to my door from primary arms.

Impressed with the quality of manufacture. Now I  understand why rails and mounts can get pricey...comparing a nice piece vs. the budget stuff I usually buy. Got to Dremel some material from the stock for the front clamp and I should be good to go.

DID YOU LOCK TITE?

 Saw an article in my googling refering to the M1C as the original PDW.  Best I can tell it'll do all I need it to out a 100-ish yards. 

Like your set up, I went with folding stock for covert in plain sight transport. 

For you gals and guys who  just like to shoot your M1C, switching your original wood for synthetic is a pretty affordable option.

(Since it's your zombie gun and has a Type 2 barrel band with lug, Fulton Armory has bayonets which won't break the bank)

Well darn GTG!

Sorry to hear this. But I think you'll like the Scout Carbine concept.

You are welcome to try my Primary Arms Red Dot sight...love that little sucker!

For being a clone of a Aimpoint T1 how does it compare?

I'm really impressed with it shotgunshooter.

It doesn't have the extreme red dot clarity of the T-1, but it's darn close. It boosts the long battery life as does Aimpoint, and I have had it running constantly on a low setting, 3 iirc, for over a year now. I ran it through one of Randy's carbine classes last year on an AK with no issues and it's been exposed to heat, cold and rain and still functions fine.

I doubt it would hold up to the rigors of a tour overseas, but it serves my perceived needs well enough I plan to purchase another when finances allow.

I am setting up a 10/22 for the missus as linked below. Here's a link for anyone interested in the concept...and it is a niche concept and I accept it's limitations.

Ultimak rail installed, solved the ejection problem.

Revealed a second issue, bolt not stripping fresh round from magazine.

Bolt also not moving far enough to the rear to catch the LRHO notch on the mag follower.

I did replace the guide (recoil) spring, it was longer than what I removed.

Will replace spring, function test and report back.

Did get it sighted in, now I really want to bang away to see if the Millet SP1 red dot holds zero and holds up.

Only way to use irons will be to remove the sight.
