I used to have a thing about the search for a perfect pistol caliber carbine.
What I wanted was a new, souped up, Marlin Camp Carbine essentially. 7 rounds of .45 ACP out of a 16 inch barrel with 1911 mags. But I entertained other ideas.
Then I relaxed and just went with an AR. Figure that's close enough. The gun show I bought the upper for the AR at I saw my first Marlin .45 in the wild and the price wasn't shabby. And I put it down.
Not that I don't still have a soft spot for the genre. Like this. An M1 Carbine in 9mm. Cool!
I need to get that AR rolled out and tested, this reminds me. Better call MBtGE see if he wants to hit the range.
And in one month I am getting another stripped lower. Just cuz Maryland. 80% lowers next year. So there.
You know we are still allowed to buy HBAR's after the ban is in place? So I get a tack driver full length varmint potter in a coupla years, and swap out the upper... I guess if they catch me with a serial number bought after the ban with the wrong kind of upper on it, they can prove I violated the law of the State. Sorta like mounting a short barrel upper on a lower with a stock before ATF says I can. But with 2 pre-ban lowers I can pretty much do whatever they want and how would they prove it? I guess if someone comes out with a new round in a couple years that no upper exists for now...
