The M1 for sure. Every time I see one, I start getting the itch.

They did have some M1 Carbines but I didn't photograph any of those. The most interesting one was one with a HUGE nightscope. Had to weigh more than the gun.
Eglin, huh. Sounds good.
That is absolutely the best-looking Jungle Carbine I've ever seen. I think I've still got some of those stripper clips somewhere. Had a Savage-made No 4 Mk I but sold it because the barrel had throat erosion and I couldn't coax decent accuracy out of it.

I think I thought the M14 was an M1 carbine - my bad. I feel like an ass.

Oh, you mean in the picture with the M79. Well, it's not the clearest photo ever, plus, I cut off the muzzle.

DF,
Ah don't feel that way, we all boo boo from time to time, besides it gave me an oppertunity to show off my M1 carbine and #5 Jungle carbine again.
