There are M1 Carbine kits, but not in walnut. So, I went with a hybrid build. The sling is a cotton M1 Garand sling
Let's see that shooter

Let's not use social distancing and firearms on this board as synonyms. It's inflammatory and irresponsible..

I ordered this Daniel Defense DDM4 complete upper a few years back with the notion that I would submit the NFA forms and the $200 necessary for the ATF to issue a tax stamp for a SBR (Short Barrel Rifle).This was to be for the Colt 6920 lower that was the only thing salvageable after that AR15 blew up in my face at a training course a decade ago.
However, I always seemed to have better things to do with $200. Recently, I discovered a very good deal on a PSA complete AR15 Pistol lower so I ordered it and I even found a new FFL (Federal Firearm Licence) holder who is literally around the corner to do the transfer.
So, the FFL calls me and leaves a message that the lower is in and to contact him to do the appropriate paperwork so I can pick it up. However, when I returned his call, he had just received news that his son may have COVID-19 and was being tested. Out of an abundance of caution we decided to wait until the test came back before doing the transaction. Well... his son was finally cleared, so I went and picked it up this evening (following the 6 foot rule and all of course).
So, now I have a new tool in the home defense plan. Next... I need a 1 to 1 red dot...
My boy thinks he is taking this over...
Edited to add: I also need some BUIS (already ordered a set of Magpul MBUS PRO Steel Sights) and a light... I'll probably end up putting the same light setup as I have on my M400 (INFORCE WML with a THORNTAIL mount).

Have you had any issues with the WML? I know Inforce had some material QC issues. With their 1st generation WML.I ordered this Daniel Defense DDM4 complete upper a few years back with the notion that I would submit the NFA forms and the $200 necessary for the ATF to issue a tax stamp for a SBR (Short Barrel Rifle).This was to be for the Colt 6920 lower that was the only thing salvageable after that AR15 blew up in my face at a training course a decade ago.

No issues with mine. It has been rock solid.

Purchased this Ruger 22/45 a few months ago, but recently spiffed it up with a better trigger, Vortex Viper optic, and a charging handle because the default one blows
Trying to get the GF to shoot rimfire Steel Challenge. Hasn’t worked yet but I’m still trying!
Me trying to support our economy during this tough economic time.
How do you like that chassis system on the M1a?
Dang Brother, all I can say is -- I am JEALOUS....
Haven't shot it yet (gun ranges just reopened here) but it feels nice and tight. I paid only about $100 more for the Troy Industries furniture and 3 mags vs a regular SOCOM.
ETA: This reminded me when I opened up the safe that my last AR I bought I havent shot it either.

If it makes you feel better, I bought a new shotgun a couple months ago (posted earlier) in anticipation of getting back into 3-gun a bit. Was supposed to be a skills clinic today, but it was cancelled. I still haven't fired mine yet either.☹
