The sling studs are mounted right where they are supposed to, and a sling is included. The butt plate is legitimate checkered steel. Through and through, Fulton’s rifle is an M1 Carbine. Fulton Armory M1 Carbine Cartouche Fulton Armory M1 Carbine Sling Stud The stock had no gooeyness or wet spots from a rushed job, but a smooth matte finish on a very refined piece of wood. However, it has been the go-to since the days of muskets. The semi-pistol grip walnut stock was excellently finished with this oil-not the easiest and fastest product to work with. When the rifle arrived, I was impressed by the scent of boiled linseed oil. I heard about Fulton Armory out of Savage, Maryland and after seeing their wares, I decided to bite on their M1 Service Carbine.
But I couldn’t fathom riding one of those hard and putting it up wet without some guilt. Some brands are notoriously unreliable so that a vintage World War II carbine would seem like the ticket. My initial experiences with the M1 Carbine platform were disappointing. Advantages and disadvantages discounted, both systems are made by some companies, and not all are created equal. We live in the era of the affordable, buildable AR-15. It is no longer one of the few viable semi-auto carbines. That must attest to the gun’s popularity, especially when faced with stiff, good competition today. It is worth noting that the Carbine is still in production, something that isn’t true of many ex-military rifles. Before AR-15 prices came down to a reasonable level, a readily available offering was the M1 Carbine of World War II fame.ĭespite its checkered service record, the M1 Carbine remains popular for recreation and hunting with some viability for self-defense. In generations, previous, ex-service rifles like the Springfield Trapdoor, the Krag, and bring-back Mausers were a common sight.
