M1 Carbine versus SKS: Milsurp Showdown

[BET7]

Good Article/video with Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner discussing the M1 Carbine and SKS rifles. He gives a bit of history on each, discussing their advantages/disadvantages including their ammunition. Video length is 21 minutes and the article is basically a transcript of the video for those that would rather read than watch.

The M1 Carbine and the SKS are both excellent firearms. But which 1940s-era semi-auto carbine is better in 2021?

M1 carbine is my favorite military rifle of all time.

In the spirit of this article, I've got two M1 carbines and a ChiCom SKS I bought recently. I really enjoy collecting these military era firearms, and have several other types from several different countries, including those U.S. made for conflicts we were involved in throughout our history.
