Carbines didn't excite me when me when I was younger and the prices were more
reasonable.  The M1's I fired were in "field" condition, and I already had a
Ruger Mini-14 so their design and means of operation was no surprise.  An M1
re-chambered for .300 Blackout would be awesome, however the magazines and
mag well in the receiver are too short to make it work.  I ran into a similar
problem with converting an SKS over to 6.5 Grendel.  The Grendel's parent
case is a 7.62x39 necked down to 6.5mm, so it sounds simple.  The 6.5
bullets are longer, so overall cartridge length is too long to fit in an
SKS magazine.  Maybe the next AR I build will be a 6.5 Grendel.
