Springfield Armory M1 Carbine BB Rifle

This airgun is probably the best reproduction I have ever seen. It looks and feels exactly like my real M1 carbine. I opted for the wood stock and at the new lower price point , this would be my recommendation. The rifle shoots well and seems to be close to the manufacturers specs. The first time I installed a co2 cartridge, I could hear a slight leak. A drop of RWS air gun oil on the brass valve located at the top of the magazine, stopped it. The blow back action is great and adds enjoyment to the shooting experience. The downside is that you will only get two magazines of shooting before the cartridge is empty. I bought this primarily as a replica and already knew about the co2 limits. So if you want something for longer shooting sessions between co2 swaps, you will need to pick something else. I was considering the Crossman M1 , which probably shoots better, but this one looks fantastic.

Pros
Realistic feel and well balanced. Blow back operation.

Cons
Limited number of shots per co2

If you are looking for a good semi-auto BB gun, find a better (and less expensive) option. Personally, I wish I would have gotten what I wanted over what I got. ("What we were looking for was a nice block of flats - nice though the abattoir is.")

Pros
Its authentic appearance and tactile appeal - it is a beautiful toy.

Cons
It leaks out most of its CO2 and therefore fires anemically, but, knowing a bit about "air-smithing" I might be able to work out a fix.

Pros
These look so much like a real M1, its amazing. I put a real sling and buttock magazine pouch on mine for display. Im pretty sure a real bayonet will work on it. Beautiful fit and finish. Well worth the money. I ordered one for my grandson as soon as I got mine in the mail.

Cons
I cant find anything that I would change.

Good gun highly recommended

Pros
it felt like the real thing and overall good highly recommend

Cons
I wish it had more mag capacity

Have fun!!!

Pros
Like the real thing. Fun to shoot.

Cons
Some place to store the carter wrench

Its a fun little can plinker

Pros
Feels and operates pretty similar to the real thing. Fairly accurate at around 15 yards

Cons
It has a rattle from the wood being a little lose on top

the combo is worth the money.

Pros
I like that its light weight and a straight shooter and fun to shoot.

Cons
the only con I found is while it does come with an extra mag the one I got didnt work. the other works just fine

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.
