Editor’s Note: The Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine is a modern reproduction gun that gives consumers a chance to experience the sweet-shooting WWII classic chambered in .30 carbine without having to chase down an original copy. Produced by Kahr Arms in Greely, PA, each Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine is made to be a faithful reproduction of the gun that served the United States from World War II through the Vietnam War. A parkerized receiver, walnut stock, 18-inch barrel, and standard capacity 15-round magazine complete the authentic look and feel of the original.

By The Numbers

Accuracy
Accuracy was impressive with the iron sights and standard 110 grain ammuntion.
Reliability
Our M1 carbine went 500 rounds, suffering only a single user-induced malfunction.
Customization
Most of the aftermarket is centered around stocks and optics mounts, not much else.
Ergonomics
For a fighting carbine of the 1940s, this rifle is very ergonomic and quick to deploy, which was a shift in weaponry of the time.

FINAL VERDICT

"The reproduction M1 Carbine from Auto-Ordnance is a winner in my book. Whether used as a hunting rifle, plinker, defensive carbine or truck gun, this light-weight accurate weapon will serve just about anyone well. Paired with the history and nostalgia of the weapon, any gun collection will do well having it among the ranks." - Ken Whitmore
