10MM ?   ;D

10mm Auto might work too but you could just buy a Mech-Tech CCU in 10mm and it would be cheaper than converting an M-1 carbine. The 10mm Magnum is close to 1,200 ft/lbs of ME in a pistol. Imagine how much power it would have in a carbine length barrel. My best estimate puts it at around 1,600 ft/lbs compared to about 965 ft/lbs in .30 carbine), roughly 2/3 more powerful.

I thought you had that covered already. Didn't you get a Puma? Because it's named after a cat?

I have 4 Garands from the CMP and its a pretty straightforward procedure. The best thing is when the Fedex truck pulls up to the house. Its like a kid on Xmas morning. I also have 3 carbines. One has a repro M1A1 folding stock. My father was with the 101st abn from D day to Bastogne where he was taken pow twice and then wounded. He absolutly hated the carbine. The first chance he got after emptying an entire magazine into a german and not getting the imediate desired affect, wrapped it around a tree and got a thompson smg. He sure loved the Thompson and garand for that matter. The carbine is a fun gun to shoot. I know prople who have killed many deer with them. They are superb at close ranges. Not a magnificent stopper, but it will work. I just need more 15 rnd mags for mine. Any suggestions? GI in wrapper preferred. Not sure how aftermarket 15 rounders work.

The CMP has in stock GI 15 round mags. 12 bucks a piece. The other week they had a deal on 10 mags for 100 bucks. Check out their E-Store under Parts Surplus.

I picked up two M1 carbine magazines at an auction.  One is marked w/captial B in a circle and the other is marked 01B. They were in a GI issue, Avery 1949 web pouch, marked US on the front flap.  I don't know much about the carbine so I am not sure if the magazines are GI issue or aftermarket.  Anyone have any ideas?  Might be willing to part with them.

According to Craig Riesch's book US M1 CARBINES, WARTIME PRODUCTION (north cape publications) the circle B was from a miscellanous manufacturer , is considered a type II mag (it should have  a strengthening ridge on the floor plate), and is wartime  production. Second mag is oh-eye-bee, from the same book it is a type II mag, wartime and made by IBM.
