The beauty of the M1-carbine ammo was right from the start,it was non-corrosive so that eliminated many problems.

A friend of mine,in 1967 purchased one of the first Ruger Blackhawks in 30 carbine.

Being that he was a long time reloader,we were able to get two large cartons of fired M1 brass that was going to be scrapped from the armory.

That Ruger made a nice companion to the M1-carbine he got through the DCM years earlier.
