M1 Carbine conversions??

[Cavtanker]

There was a company named LeMat (I think) in MI that converted M1s to .45 Win Mag.

You mean Lemag?

Here's some great discussion about it in another forum a few years ago as well.

And this guy went to a lot of effort to convert one to shoot 10MM.

I can remember reading an article in some gun rag about LeMag. At the time, the guy was doing BAR mag conversions on M14's, and rechambering them to .338 Win Mag. 20-round mag held 15 .338's, something like that. That was probably ten years ago, and I haven't heard anything about it since. Were I able to afford it, I always wanted to call him up, and see if he could do that conversion in .358 Norma Mag.

My virus protection went haywire when I opened the hunt101 link. The computer is running Trend Micro OfficeScan.

You guys may have gotten a trojan virus.
