I'm tired of seeing everyone show off their 'other' M1s and GI 1911's, so I decided to share mine. Kinda crappy pics, but whatever. Its a 7-1942 production date Inland Division of GM M1. 30 Carbine is hard to find and/or expensive these days. I wish I could have owned one before, but I'm happy now I'm out of the PRNJ

 

 

 

 

Nice!

This will be one of my first purchases if I make it out of NJ for sure.

Nice carbine! Now I want one. Quick question, not trying to hijack this thread or anything, but can I own one of these if I never bring it in state? Example: I buy and store the carbine in PA.

Yes

M1 Carbine is the FUNNEST rifle I've ever shot.... probably the funnest GUN I've ever shot.

I don't see how you're going to acquire it, as ftf transfers between residents of 2 different states are illegal and it would also be illegal for an FFL to transfer a banned weapon to you. Even if that FFL is out of state.

I would never do an out of state F2F. I figured it was like keeping a 30 round ar mag in PA, certain things are only illegal within state bounds.

Problem is a dealer can't sell you a rifle unless it is legal in both your state and the state of purchase. That is federal law.

Ah, 10-4.

Now if you were a dual resident, if you have a house or an apartment or vacation property in a state that allows it, you could buy it.  Or if you inherited it from someone in another state and kept it out of NJ, you are good to go.

Unless you have a friend to 'own' one for you, you're practically SOL for owning one and living in the PRNJ. 

 

I legally live in NJ, and therefore I don't legally own my M1 or my illegal AR. My dad is the technical owner of both. My parents moved to PA, and I legally moved in with my aunt here so I can save $14k on school. I looked into dual residency so I can get my LTCF and its a no-no. I spend 75% of my time in Newark at school, then the rest is a mix of my legal residence in NJ and some in PA. 

 

As for my M1, its a post Korean war rebuild. In its WWII configuration it lacked a bayo lug and had a terrible rear sight.
