Feeding issues ?

M12 Ammo cost

Aguila can be had for $17 for 50 rounds. Not that much worse price wise than .223.

I have a Stag 3, a Mini-14, and an M1 Carbine which I find to be very enjoyable to shoot.

With expanding bullets, should be a great defensive weapon. Low recoil and muzzle blast, delivering ~150% of the energy of a maximum load .357 mag round.

IAI Carbine

Agree with you 100% about many of the Repro carbines. All kinds of junk was passed off by the unscrupulous. The IAI carbines are strict M1 pattern carbines and the parts were, all GI or later...

Haven't tried that. They are steel rings, and I kind of hate to damage the factory finish on them. I think I will try Warne's suggestion first, of only tightening the rear rings to 15 in/lbs, and as...
