Springfield Armory M1 Carbine BB Rifle, Wood Stock

Pros
feels like the G.I. version

Cons
needs two 12g cartridges, runs out of co2 to quick.....15 shots a 12 gram cartridge @ best.

This is a fun plinker, good for training children or new shooters how to handle firearms. I can display this on the wall and keep my real M1 locked in the safe. My pre-teen Granddaughters will love it.

Pros
Price is good for the synthetic stock version and it is made of a solid composite with realistic feel. Don't think I would have been happy paying an extra $100 for the wood stock. While it is an impressive replica, it's not convincingly constructed, material wise, to warrant real wood.

Cons
Not a strong shooter, only capable of accuracy at CLOSE range. Wouldn't puncture a plastic soda bottle. The bolt doest lock back when empty, so you must rely on the sound or count to know it's empty; which wastes shots and co2.

Magazine hard to load BBs. Have to hold magazine on downhill angle and hold back follower with coin to prevent damage to my fingernail then load BBs with other hand. Also immediately emptied 3 CO2 cartridges until I learned to insert cartridge downwards at start of procedure to eliminate possibility of massive leakage.

Pros
Accurate, realistic. One on my favorite BB long guns. Feels good in hand.

As a replica show piece buy it!!! As a shooter, maybe see if you cans find one to shoot before buying.

Pros
This is a very impressive replica Weight, length, stock, action, are all spot on as it was made by the original manufacturer.

Cons
It doesn't shoot at 450 fps. It actually shoots at speeds slower than our traditional BB guns.

My M1 came with two magazines, one in the box and one which air gun depot included in the sale as well as a carrying case. Good deal! I also purchased an additional magazine. I had three magazines of which only one works as it should. Air gun Depot replaced one of the magazines, the other faulty one started leaking co2 afterI had contacted the seller. The replacement magazine is also faulty, the plastic piece in front of the spring is broken but it functions. One of four magazines is without fault. I gave 2 stars only because of the magazine issues. Would I buy this again? No. Would I buy from Air gun Depot again? Yes. If you do buy it, get the wood stock.

Pros
The M1 Carbine is fun to shoot.

Cons
I would add a rear sight which is fully adjustable-elevation and windage.

Pros
Rifle was received as expected, except as noted below.

Cons
The finish on the bolt surface was marred all over - cosmetic blem.

Pros
The gun is quite realistic in appearance. As far as accuracy, once sighted in it seems accurate and also seems to have a fair amount of "umff" for a .177 at range.

Cons
The magazine is terrible. My first magazine leaked badly, one mag of bbs and that was it. It just plain leaked. The replacement magazine worked great until I changed gas cartridges and the "yellowish/white" plastic washer fell out of the mag. I ordered another replacement, that has a very slow leak but I can shoot more than 15 shots before I run weed eater line down the barrel to remove a bb. Airgun Depot has be extremely helpful but the manufacturer has to do something with its QC. Three magazines, 3 problems is not a good look.

Pros
I CARRIED ONE & THIS IS EXACT REPLICA I IMMEDATELY ORDERED THE 45 ACP & AGAIN VERY PLEASED I CHERISH BOTH OF THESE & CANNOT BELIEVE THE GOOD PRICE! THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK FANTASTIC REPLICA CARBINE & COLT 45 ACP! FIVE STAR ON BOTH THANK YOU!!

Cons
ADD A SLING ON CARBINE OTHERWISE CHANGE NOTHING ON THE CARBINE OR COLT 45 ACP

Just fired four mags with 15 bbs for one cylinder to test it. Will buy extra mag.

Pros
Feel, weight and blowback like the real carbine. Accurate unless you have a steady hand. I liked it very much. Fun to shoot with my sons really. Happy to own this. Will keep it for a lifetime. Happy to own this

Cons
None so far.

Pros
I believe it was General Custer that said I think they're Friendly Indians
