It's not very tactical but it is a Carbine

I'd grab the AR since I'm MUCH more familiar with the platform.
But it doesn't get much more "Tactical" than a 3+ war veteran.

Great little rifles, and very fun, shot mine to 200 meters and could keep in the black, wished I'd never sold it, it was a Blue Sky.

House gun? Be careful, with fmj, the .30 carbine will smoke a creosote telephone pole, lot of penetration. Pick some soft points or hollow points. I talked to Hornady and Cor bon about coming up with an xtp type bullet, many yrs ago, and they said they were working on it, after I sold mine, I really did not keep up with new ammo choices.

I bought some Remington soft point ammo the other day. That is what I'll keep in it here at the house when I get all the kinks worked out.

tranefan, glad to see you reading what m25operator has to say. He is always on the money with information on weapons.

If you can find them, I think Magsafe and Glaser make .30 carbine rounds, which would be ideal inside your home.

I need y'alls help on fixing my .30 Universal Carbine.  The mags just don't sit in right for a consistent feed.

 Hate to break the news to you, but, Mitchell and Universal were the Sig Mosquito's of Carbines.

Nice purchase. It's on my wish list.

C'mon Tom.  Tell me how to strip it bare and fix it!

Post on Gunbroker.com and let it be someone else's problem and buy a new one. I very stupidly sold my grand dads IBM with 600 rounds in stripper clips and five mags (a friend of his wanted it and I had no real use for it, and felt obligated) but it is a fun range and SD gun. I would probably suggest a Hi-point or Kel-tec SU-2000 as more practical, but the MI is a fun little gun.

Sorry.  Bought it for $135.00 from Sears 35 years ago.  I'll keep it and fix it. (no records )
