30 Carbine Ammo For Sale
Overview of 30 Carbine Ammo
Developed out of necessity for U.S. soldiers in the 1940s, the .30 Carbine — also known as .30 M1 Carbine, .30 SL (“self-loading”), 7.62x33mm, .30 Cal Carbine ammo, M1 ammo, or simply .30 ammo — became a lightweight, fast-handling cartridge used by several armies across multiple decades.
While it never reached the same level of civilian popularity as larger rifle calibers, the 30 Carbine still has a dedicated following. Many shooters appreciate its mild recoil and historic appeal, using it today for small- to medium-game hunting, range plinking, and collecting vintage firearms like the M1 Carbine.

After firing less than a dozen rounds, the amount of carbon buildup, left over on the breach and the spent casing is something I’ve never had before. Very dirty ammo.

I have owned my M-1 Carbine since the early 90's, fired it many, many times & I have NEVER had any feeding issues, reloading issues or jams. I bought this ARMSCOR 30 Carbine.The quality seemed good, the price was great but, shooting a Ten round magazine I would have upwards of Three to Four jams, almost every time. The final solution was to lube the heck out of the bore & a little on the tips of the rounds themselves; then the amount of jams decreased to One or Two jams per TWO Ten round clips. All in all I am very pleased with the quality & the price. I recommend this product for its value alone.

Bought to “just have “. Haven’t been able to find any in my area so I thought I’d try online. Thought the price was reasonable and the delivery to a registered Dealer was 10 minutes from my home. Everything went very well and when I need more you will be my go to spot. Thanks!!
