Several persons. However, the parts that make the M2 carbine fully automatic may only be sold to a private citizen in the US if they were already registered with the BATFE by May 1986. They require the payment of a $200 transfer tax, a background check, and will cost several thousand dollars.
Yes, in danao, cebu, pi.
M1 carbines are semi-automatic and M2s are full automatic.
The M-2 carbine was designed to be fully automatic and as such is considered a "Machine Gun" even if the selector and automatic type sear are replaced with the M1 style ( semi-automatic )parts The Reciever must be marked M2 for it to be considered a machine gun. Chuck Linderman Dothan, Alabama
The M1 carbine is a semi-automatic rifle meaning that with one pull of the trigger the rifle will fire one bullet. The M2 carbine is a selective fire rifle meaning that there is a switch on the rifle which will select semi-automatic or fully-automatic fire. With fully automatic fire the weapon will continue firing as long as the trigger is pulled until the magazine is empty. This type of rifle is properly classified as an assault weapon. Both rifles share many common parts and barrels will interchange. The main mechanical difference is in the fire control parts. Possession of a certain number of unregistered M2 parts is considered by the BATF to be possession of an unlicensed machine gun and is a felony.
Well over $10,000. The M2 is the select fire variant of the M1 carbine, capable of full auto fire, and requires an NFA tax stamp for transfer. <><><> Agree- IF the M2 is in the US, and has already been registered with the BATFE. If it has not been registered, it cannot be. Possession of an unregistered M2, or any other machinegun is a serious crime that is punished by prison and fines.
M1 money is transaction money, It includes: Coins of all denominations, Paper money including all types of notes, Checking accounts and Traveler's checks. M2 money is M1 money plus Close substitutes ( savings accounts/deposits).
yes, a few years after WWII ended, M1 and M2 Carbines were tested with various scopes . In the late '50's & 60's the military mounted night vision scopes on the military carbine. In 1994 a shooter friend past away. I removed a scope from his military carbine and replaced the flip rear sight. So, yes a scope can be mounted on a military carbine.
The M1A1 nomenclature was applied to a variation of the Thompson submachinegun, which was an automatic weapons. As far as the .30 carbine goes, M1 designation was applied to semi automatic variants, whereas the fully automatic versions were known as M2.
No. M1 carbines were made semi-auto only. M2 carbines had a selector lever for simi-automatic or full automatic. Iver Johnson never made M2 carbines.
Yes, but they are made in Japan and rarely seen, and are expensive, however there were M2 and M1 Carbines made by Marushin and Tokyo Marui which go for around $300 wwii.guns.com is a great place (although outragously expensive) to look for M1, M1A1, or M2 Carbines.
They used pretty much the exact same weapons as the rest of the Army did... the Garand, M1/M2 carbine, M1918 BAR, M1919, etc.
On full auto about 850 rounds per minute. However, the M2 was the full auto - the M1 was semi auto only, and the rate of fire was as fast as one could pull the trigger.
