Sweet little carbine, handy and fun to shoot. Round could have more oomph but it's good enough for BG's inside 150 yards.
If it's original the price is good, with the ammo it's a deal.
I'd do it.

Virtually all M-1 carbines were rearsenaled or rebuilt at some time.  It will probably be mixed manufacturer and upgraded parts, but this is the norm.  Some carbine guys get real anal about matching this and that and do a lot of parts switching.  From what I understand as far as originality, other than major parts, it may be impossible to tell which original manufacturer used small parts from the many differant subcontractors.  Buy it and enjoy the fun.

I always wanted to get a 30 round loaded with a spitzer type bullet.  100 grains at 1900fps should penetrate real well.

In order to get a pointy enough bullet for the diameter the length would be to long for the magazine, and becuase of the taper you could not compensate by setting the bullet back in the case.

My all-time favorite show! Nothing like watching a 65 year old with an M1carbine covering a bunch of fake Marines. Yeah I'd say if it's good enough for Johnston Green it's good enough for me. I'll have to wait till Friday to see how much bonus I actually see after it's Obamatized. You know us rich fokes that get bonuses are paying for the millions on welfare to drive Cady's and BMW's with 20" spinners.

The chances of some one having body armor  are so low its not even funny.  if I was really worried about some one having body armor, I skip the 223 and 7.62 x39 and go strait to a M1.  I don't think anyone makes body armor that can stop a 30.06 more so when its old black tip ap.

A ceramic trauma plate should stop a .30-06. It's harder than the penetrator in armor piercing ammo.
