Sadly, I don't have it in my hot little hands, yet. It seems that since I last bought a rifle (just before the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban), this state implemented a waiting period for long guns.

I've never found another rifle that I enjoyed shooting as much as an M1 carbine. It's as light as a .22, but has enough kick and makes enough noise to be emotionally satisfying, while still being mild enough to shoot beaucoup rounds without being fatiguing. And if necessary, you can shoot it sans ear plugs, without feeling as if spikes are being driven into your eardrums, in contrast to more powerful rifles.
