Noticed this on RSOV, I thought the body and mag bear a striking resemblance to an M1 carbine. be nice if they did a model with a stock instead of a pistol grip. Make up a longer barrel and bobs your uncle :)

If you fab'd up a folding stock, it may make an approximation of a para model ?

I'd imagine that it would really be just for 'display' though, as even if the spring was strong enough, the accuracy and likely lack of hop would be an issue.

Dunno why Keith calls it a 'shotgun' :?

I'm pretty sure its an plastic version of this:

Which is in fact an M1 Carbine 'Enforcer'. (Eagle-eye catch Slick!) It would be interesting to see if it is compatible with the Marushin 8mm system its copied from because those mags are impossible to find now- The listing doesn't seem to say whether its 8 or 6mm or even if the mag comes out.

The chinese seem to be in the process of cloning the entire Marushin product range at the moment, M500, K98 and now M1 enforcer, I wouldn't be suprised if a proper M1 carbine appears soon, here's hoping :)

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942

Sure!

Although I'm not sure how your gonna play with that missing arm and leg :lol:

:wink:

Actually a proper M1A1 is completely do-able, CheaperThanDirt sells the repro stock for $179 (87 pounds for you guys with currency that still has value :roll:)

And the Marushin GBB M1 Carbine is $264 stateside, and that's still just a couple of fish and chips dinners for you lot :cry:

You will have to suffer the bollocks banana magazine for a while until they get around to making the correct straight mag though-

signature should be right about here somewhere.... :?
