Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine

Recommended Posts

According to section 13:51-1.2, Definitions, of NJ Administrative Code, Firearms and Weapons, "M1 carbine type rifles" are included in the definition of "Assault firearms". While many other banned weapons are included by name, the M1 is included by type. Also included are "Any firearm manufactured under any designation which is substantially identical to any of the firearms listed in paragraph" 13:51-1.2, Definitions.

 

Of course there is the list of modifications that allow some types included in that list to become acceptable, but the M1 can not be modified under those conditions, i.e. it isn't possible to pin the stock, it doesn't have a flash hider, doesn't have a pistol grip.

 

An "M1 carbine type" simply isn't allowed.

The M1 carbine has always been legal in NY, provided it didn't have at least two "evil features." The "NY approved" version from A-O is equipped with a 10-rnd. magazine.

 

Any firearm made before Sept. of 1994 that isn't full auto or SBR is legal in NY. "Evil Features" only applies to post Sept. 1994 firearms in NY.

I heard its one of the easiest to convert to full auto ,plus the 30 rd mags

 

This is because the full auto conversion was designed I..nto the carbine. IIRC the M2 conversion kit consists of only 7 parts. Plus the stock cut to accommodate the selector. You could order the parts at one time (of course not all of them from one supplier) and build an illegal M2. ATF got wise to this and certain parts are now considered to be NFA items. It is not unusual to see a M1 that picked up a M2 trigger housing or stock during a rebuild.

 

Last I looked a legal M2 kit (just the parts not including the carbine) was about $5000.

    • I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.  
    • Thanks for the offer @High Exposure and hope you’re doing well.  I’ll be back in just under 2 weeks and we can all work something out. 
    • I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.
    • Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
