.45 ACP Carbine

BigJon · November 18th, 2005, 04:55 PM

Anyone know of any being currently manufactured, other than the Mec Tech unit, the Beretta Storm and the old Marlin Camp Carbine?

Jon - can only think of repro 1927A1's - forget who is making them.

Thanks, P95. Have a good weekend. Deer season starts here Saturday. Gonna go play in the woods awhile I s'pose.

Best,
Jon

You probly won't like my answer, but High Point also makes one. The ugly duckling of guns!

I think you can get a M3 grease gun repo in semi auto. Also HK's USC comes in .45 IIRC. Olympic Arms also makes an AR in .45 ACP.

Good luck Jon. I'm actually taking off this weekend to spend some time with the family. But I'll be back at it next weekend. :)

Does that HK still come with those ridiculous ten round magazines, or have they redesigned them?

I know some company was converting them so the carbines could use grease gun mags at one time.

I wouldn't buy a 45 carbine limited to ten round clinton clips.

I think it's the H&K UMP and they come with a 25 rd mag, IIRC. Really WEIRD looking gun, IMHO. Something about how the front sight appears to be split from the barrel at the muzzle.

yor right exsoldier. My mistake. I kinda like the gun, suppose to be a lighter version of the MP5. Sigh, maybe someday I will have 1.

Hi points are ugly and not terribly ergonomic, but they're cheap, tough, and reliable. I used one to run through a carbine class with Progressive FORCE Concepts (taught by Chris Fry) and was amazed that it kept on working and working. The barrel didn't have a chance to cool down completely for, like, two hours!
