Re: Any love for the.30 Carbine?
I have used M-1s and M-2s but never bought one thinking the 5.56 had more power and was a lighter carbine. Please remember I was the hard-headed SF Guy who carried a M-14 in Iraq because I wanted more hitting power.

Re: Anyone fool with the 5.7X28
I used them in the military for a job and didn't pursue it any further. My wife bought a Ruger 5.7 pistol so I built her an AR that took FN 50 Rd Mags as her car gun. She likes it for the lack of recoil and mag capacity. It works for soft skin and targets short-range.
