This is a well made and accurate reproduction of the M1 carbine (I purchased to one with the hardwood stock). Out of curiosity I tried fitting my original bayonet to it and it fits just like my real M1 carbine. It is a fun gun to shoot and relatively accurate with the Copperhead and Daisy BB's.
Things I would have changed:Perhaps the gun might be designed to make the single CO2 cartridge last for a few shots more than it does. I got about 60 shots before it got to low to make the gun function properly.
What others should know:A great little air gun I would recommend this to any shooter. Or anyone who wants an accurate reproduction of the M1 carbine.

This is a really cool looking replica. If you get the wood stock it's worth it. Has a nice look and feel. I have had mine for almost 2yrs. With proper care and treatment it will last many more yrs.
Things I would have changed:First off they factorys quaility control needs improved. For the price you pay which is as much as a 22lr version. Attention to detail is seriously lacking. Several places on the wood stock are not stained or sealed. They are exposed and visable. Makes it look cheap and unfinished. I bought 2 extra magazines with it. Good thing, 1 of them has never worked properly from day 1.
What others should know:This a very good replica of an m1 carbine. It's a whole latta fun to shoot. If you check everything over. Read the manual and understand the operation and use proper care and mantience. (TIP) If you put just half a drop of pellgun oil on each co2 cartridge, before install and an occasonal drop oil on any moving parts. Make sure you wipe any excess. This will last a very long time.

It is probably the best replica I have seen. The weight, balance and action are right on. It looks and feels like the real thing.
Things I would have changed:Make sure it has a working magazine. I like that the rifle is all metal but the magazine should be made of polymer instead of Zamak.
What others should know:I am extremely impressed with the rifle but the magazine leaks badly. All the air leaks out in about a minute, basically making it a really cool paperweight. I did manage to get three shots off before it would not cycle. I could cover those three shots at 10 yards with a dime, so it seems to be very accurate. If I can get a working magazine I think I'll be happy.

Everything! I shot one forty years ago and this has all the feel of that carbine. Glad I read the reviews and opted for the wooden stock. I doubt I'll ever shoot it but I have it if I decide to.
Things I would have changed:The white lettering but given today's litigious society I understand why all manufacturers do this.
What others should know:Buy one if you can. Eventually you'll regret it if they go away.

Metal construction.
Things I would have changed:The plastic stock is not very convincing. I should've ordered the word version. The store will take back the plastic one for a 20% restocking fee and I have to of course pay the shipping. Even though I've never fired it

Very pleased with the carbine. Wish now I had opted for the real wood stock, maybe when my next ship comes in. Fit and finish on the carbine are very good, and the function is flawless. Reminds me of basic training 59 years ago (it wasn't all bad).

Authentic m1 look. Great design.
Things I would have changed:Wood stocks are being shipped in boxes that say wood like synthetic stock. Same some money on returns and confusion and take a black marker and cross out synthetic stock.

This is a fun and authentic-looking replica. I got it with a plastic stock, but I recommend getting the wood version if your budget allows it. I think wood would lift this to a whole new level. For me, the wood stock put the price point too high for me for this as a casual toy, and I still really like it with the plastic. The magazine is heavy in a good sense. Solid. The action works well and sounds realistic. Make sure to get an aftermarket oiler and a sling for this. Look for reproduction ones (World War Supply is where I got my set in OD green). Having a sling on this makes all the difference. I also have the Springfield Mil Spec 1911 bb gun, which I think is the best looking 1911 bb gun out there if you want a WWII look. With that and my M1, all I need now is a 1940s Jeep!
Things I would have changed:The hand guard on mine was not tight and therefore every time I held or used this gun I heard the sound of plastic rattling on plastic. That spoiled the effect for me, so I put a little superglue between the plastic hand guard and the plastic stock, and now it sits tight and doesn't make that distracting noise. I figure I can always pry it apart should I ever need to disassemble this thing since I only put the glue in two small spaces, one on the left and one on the right where the seam of the hand guard and stock open to the action. I only get two mags at best with rapid fire and not much more than that when shooting more slowly and allowing it to warm up a bit. You will be somewhat limited in how much you can shoot this thing unless you don't care how much CO2 you burn. My mag only holds 14 instead of 15 bbs, but that's not a dealbreaker for me.
What others should know:If you are a fan of the M1 Carbine and want one you can shoot in your house or back yard, this is it!

Ordered mine refurbished with the $10 pre-inspection, money well spent I think. A great reproduction and value. After a few hundred shots no problem with magazine or action.
Things I would have changed:Quite accurate out to 15-20 yards, though mine shoots high enough that I have to aim through the middle of the front post for consistent hits.
What others should know:World War Supply sells a reproduction sling with oil stick that pops into the recess - a must-have accessory for $15

The rifle. I have always been a fan of the M1 Carbine (the real thing), so I finally ordered the Springfield version, which came last weekend, and it does look like the real thing. I've had a Crosman version for years and well, it only has a vague appearance of the M1. I opted for the wood stock on this one; it just looks better. It is a walnut-stained softer hard wood, perhaps Alder, but looks good. Yes, the M1 bayonet does fit on this Springfield replica. The barrel mount was a bit thick and had to be filed a little. I used curved rifle files for the job then touched it up with a black permanent marker. BUT I have seen the real M1 rifle need the same adjustment.
Things I would have changed:#1. At least two good and tested magazines in the box, not just the one. And make sure they function! #2. Make the magazine follower out of metal, plastic does not seem to be up to the job. #3. Chamfer the BB loading port to make it easier to load.
What others should know:My boys and I have already given it a good work out, the rifle has worked quite nicely. The Magazines, not so much. I ordered an extra one and they both stink. Both mags were unpackaged and placed on the bench so not sure which came with the rifle, and which was the extra. One leaked profusely with a pinched / torn O ring in the valve assembly and had to be replaced, the other had a broken follower and could not be loaded. (There are a lot of complaints about the follower.) I machined a new follower out of metal; why they use plastic for this part is beyond me. Loading the BBs was not easy, if they were not placed directly in the hole, they rolled away, so I chamfered the BB port about 45 deg which made it much easier to get the BBs in the loading port.

Nice weight and balance. Accuracy was very good for a smoothbore! Repro slings and oilers for real one fit. Got about 52 shots per fill of 12g Co2 capsule. Faux wood stock looks great!
Things I would have changed:The wood stock shouldn't cost $100 more.
What others should know:Make sure you put a drop of Pellgun Oil on the tip of every Co2 capsule to keep seals lubed!

I love this gun. I have a real one, and side by side it is hard to tell the difference until you open the breech or pick up a magazine. I started buying these replicas to hang up in the den. Also, I wanted to mess around with optics and see how I liked them on this before I invested in something for the .30 carbine. I just love shooting it when the magazines work. I have a red dot mounted and the upper hand guard mount is solid. I did remove the fake elevation ramp and installed a real one using the original sight frame and windage adjustment screw. That necessitated filing down the front sight for zeroing. Aided and unaided it shoots well. I only shoot 2 clips out of a CO2 cartridge.
Things I would have changed:The magazines. I despise the magazines. They are the Achilles heel of this gun. Pyramid Air has sent replacements. I suggest keep sending them back till you get some that work. I wish they would do the design better. They could make a 30 round mag that takes two CO2 cartridges.
What others should know:I replaced the magazine air valve o rings with o rings from tractor supply. Keep Dust Devils away from this gun. The cartridge piercing seal is contemptuous. PA sells the upper handguard scope mount and it installs tight, but does not come with directions. You need to look at things and think it through before loosing your temper and passing judgement. Once you get the handguard off, there is a barrel band that needs to be removed for the rail to sit flush and screwed down. It fits tight and solid on mine. I think I am going to look for one for the .30 carbine and the mini 14 as well now I have tried this platform on the bb gun. The front sight has a set screw that comes loose requiring loctite.
