The rifles weigh less than three pounds each, thanks to an alloy receiver that may explain that... I think these are pretty much toy versions of the M-1 carbine.
Thanks for the information, Allan.I think I was misled by reading this: An alloyed receiver and 18-inch (M1-22) or 19-inch (M1-9) steel barrel pair with a steel bolt for durability and quality. Weighing in at 5.5 lbs, this semi-auto design carries the heritage of the original M1 Carbine with every trigger pull. After looking at the Chiappa site and reading the product specs, you are absolutely correct -- this is an expensive toy. Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Nice thought sentimentally, but why not chamber it in the original caliber?  If you are going to commemorate something, do it as the original.
