Paul in PA Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I a thinking on purchasing a M-2 carbine to add to my collection of USGI carbines. But am wondering about the legality of owning both full and semi auto carbines.The M-2 I would purchase would be a registered receiver, prefer a C&R USGI piece. So my questions are: - Since the seven "deadly parts can be used in a M-2 registered receiver, would their possess with the M-2 carbine and also having M-1s in the house be considered "illegal MGs"? Cause you can interchange the parts. - If you had space parts, from the seven deadly parts list, for your registered M-2, in the same house as M-1 semi carbine be consider an intent to manufacture? Don't want to be considered a criminal by collecting Carbine variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.hayes1942 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Timkel is right, Colonel, you would be good. You can possess replacement parts for your registered MG, just don't get creative. jh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n64atlas Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 There is one part of the "kit" that really doesn't wear out. That is the hammer. Buy the springs ect. Only buy a hammer when and if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph12297 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 You are all set, RDIAS is another instance of a similar situation if you owned any of the AR variants. If you don't break the law, you won't be breaking any laws! Good luck finding your M2, don't forget to post some pics when you get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 IMHO- The M2 carbine has been underrated in today's market. Prices are reasonable, easy to control, spare parts are plentiful and the cartridge is easy to reload. The carbine has seen service all over the world, so much history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .30 Carbine cartridge was the first cartridge I ever reloaded, for the first rifle I ever bought myself. I'd like to have an M2, also...

Paul in PA Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Had a FANTASTIC M-2 Inland in the past, Excellent Condition, nice green park, May 45 dated barrel - was like new! My first Class III. Purchased our house and sold all but my Thompson. Loved to shoot it, but I had no other carbines at the time. Now I have a few, and was asking the question because jail is not a place I would like to go. And YES, I do regret selling it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
