M1 Carbine Factory SBRs? Thanks, I hate it
Don’t get me wrong, it looks kind of cool, almost like an “advisor gun” of the type that the original SF A-Teams (the “Gypsies of the Battlefield”) liked in the early days of the CIDG program in Vietnam, but I have to wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze and they got the dwell time worked out to where it works better than the old Universal Enforcer.
I give you, Auto-Ordnance’s factory SBR M-1 Carbine:
According to AO’s press release (emphasis mine):
Designed for optimal maneuverability and modern application, the M1 Carbine SBR boasts an overall length of just 30 inches, featuring a 12-inch barrel equipped with a standard 1/2-28 threaded muzzle for easy suppressor or compensator attachment.
To further bridge the gap between historic utility and current shooting requirements, the firearm includes integrated M-Lok slots along the bottom of the forearm, allowing for the seamless attachment of modern accessories.
Finished in a durable, non-reflective matte black, the SBR ships with either a 15-round (AOM230) or 10-round magazine (AOM240).
The new SBR M1 Carbine takes an already handy rifle and makes it even more useful in tight spaces. On top of that, the threaded barrel lets the shooter go quiet when silence is the best option.
This modernized platform is available now at an MSRP of $1,870 for both 10- and 15-round models.
Still, tax stamps (for now) on SBRs are zeroed out, and my last Form 4 went through in three days…so forgive me if something happens.





Gun Lust. Just can’t decide if I like this, or the Inland Arms Advisor better.
Right?
