An M1 carbine would certainly be a nice thing to have. But how about one of
those Marlin Camp Carbines? They come in 9mm and .45 ACP; the 9mm version
will take S&W magazines (that gives you 14 shots; and doesn't S&W make a 20
shot magazine?), and the .45 takes a standard Colt Gov't Model magazine.

Anybody know about the reliability of these carbines? How about the
relative merits of the .45 vs. the 9mm version? Does anybody make an
extended magazine (i.e. > 8 rounds) for the .45 version?
