| The way I figure it if, God forbid I ever had to use it for self-defense it would probably be at a few yards, not one hundred. I have a Springfield 03-A3 if it comes to that and there is not much more stopping power than a 30-06. The paratrooper model looks mean and gives the message don't screw with me. Bottom line guys we own these guns because we like guns, like to shoot them, look at them, and brag about them. I doubt any of us will ever have to use any of them against another human being.
Unless you are a real collector and want a complete M1 Carbine with all origonal parts from the same maker you can walk the gun shows like I did and rebuild a old one. Mine looks great and shoots great and that is what it is all about.
