You have a fantastic collection based simply on your threads here. I hope you have kids and friends that appreciate this stuff who can inherit it from you when the time comes.

Same here. Very interesting. Experimental I'd guess. Magnums don't typically cycle well in a semi-auto action. Suppose that could depend on the engineering configuration of the gun to some extent but most reliable function typically happens using medium load components (bullet weight, powder weight and type). That 60 grain bullet is half as light as anything I've ever pushed with a slow burning (magnum) powder and that wasn't from a semi-auto.

Did a quick online search for info on it. Couldn't locate any historical references. Per the caption of an image I saw it was possibly named the M1 Carbine Ferrite Model.


The thing belongs in a museum

Universal firearms repopped the M1 Carbine in several iterations for a number of years. The .256 is based on a .357 magnum case which is not so dissimilar from the .30 carbine round... it should work OK with appropriate magazine spacers to account for the difference in cartridge length.
Museum piece? Hell no... with a set of dies and an old reloading manual this would be an easy cartridge to load for as the base case and bullets are plentiful and inexpensive. I would fix the butchered stock on this one and shoot the shit out of it!

I have 200+ rounds and dies so I will shoot it. The gap between the stock and sight has to be that big to take it apart the traditional way...i'll overlook it since it was a good price
