The Roles and Weapons with the Squad

[Pete]

These are questions for Ken White: which rifle or carbine did you like the best? Why did you like it, and what could have been better about it? What did you like or dislike about the other ones that weren't your favorite ones? Memory lane and nostalgia, as it were.

I have a factory-new condition Inland M1 Carbine (like Dad had in the big one, a Winchester-made one IIRC) with a barrel dated December 1943. My carbine doesn't have any of the later design changes or MWOs, but I'll admit the cartridge was anemic and its accuracy and knock-down power were wanting.
