where is the 300 savage?

.30 cal thread without actually including a .30 Carbine? You don't get to touch my M1 now.
Obviously too gay.No x39? Or 54r?
It could be worse. He could be a 6.5 Creedmoor fanboy...Obviously too gay.
I love the M1 Carbine, but the 30 Carbine may very well be the worst .30 cal cartridge out there. Sorry man, acceptance is the first step towards appreciating and enjoying the M1 Carbine for what it is.
And it excels at it's role. WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, only second to the ever-venerable .45 AARP 1911. Imagine an AR-15 in .30 Carbine. Overall length should fit, but might have to play with the feed lips.I love the M1 Carbine, but the 30 Carbine may very well be the worst .30 cal cartridge out there.

I didn't slather on enough /s apparently.… whaaa? 5.56 has less recoil, more energy, better trajectory/external ballistics, and better terminal ballistics. Why would you want to put 30 carbine in an AR?
If you want a 110gr .30 cal bullet, use the Barnes 110gr Tac-TX loaded 300blk.
The M1 Carbine is a light and handy rifle. It excels at its role despite the cartridge it has, not because of it.
30 Carbine is better than a lot of its detractors think. Hell, it almost has the muzzle energy of 5.56. But it’s time has passed.
Folks tend to hold on to old and familiar. 45 ACP, 223, 30-06, 30 Carbine. All have been surpassed, but folks keep holding on. This insane desire to hold onto the past, refusing to learn from the past and apply it to new/future/better designs, is what keeps the "AR of the month" industry churning out the same old crap. DOD and its preference to waste money on anything, but what infantry needs doesn't help either....30 Carbine was a stop-gap at best between the thompson and grease gun and the m1 garand. The only benefit to having .30 Carbine ammo right now is you can sell it for 75 cents a round.
It has a fun fireball through my AutoMag III too!
