I have 2 M1 carbines an airborne model folding stock and a fixed stock, neither makes a pew pew sound when fired My favorite Uncle bailed out of a plane over Normandy the night before D Day,,,, He didn't say Pew... He said "HuH" when I talked to him. Hearing was shot.
And I know who "Jeff" is.

OK noise a gun makes.
Sounds like too many video games and guns that go pew pew.
Need to spend time on the range and hear the sounds of real guns.
They damn sure don't go pew pew. That sounds more like what a fart makes.

Here ya go; https://www.jamesriverarmory.com/You can get a restored M-1 Garand or M-14 for under 2k. I got a M-1 a few years ago and it was like new out of the box. It's a blast to shoot and easy to get ammo (30-06). Mine was made by Winchester in 1944. Cheers, George

BAR will require a Class III and probably about $20 grand. I saw one for sale at Nagels guns in San Antonio last month for about $10k. Looked to be in great shape. If you saw it at Nagels, everyone in San Antonio knows that they are overpriced on their guns.
Just one more cast!

One cool thing about the M1 carbine is the manufacturers. I'd like to find an IBM or Rockolla one. I got an IBM manufactured M1.

Back when I was working at Discount Gun Mart in San Diego, part of my job was to check in all the surplus military guns that the store owner bought for inventory, clean the cosmoline off them, and inspect for any valuable ones. That particular rifle went straight into the owners personal collection. It was the first one he'd ever seen too!

Back in the late '70s to mid '80s Rockolla made M1s were fairly common at Dallas area gun shows, or maybe I just kept running across the same few ones a lot.

My first deer rifle was an Enfield .303 Jungle Carbine. Shoulda kept it. Easily worth 30 times what I paid for it today.

I received my dad's (he was retired USAF) 1903 Springfield. Love that old gun but hardly use it any more. Good luck in finding a good one and enjoy it!
