Finally, a picture. :lol:

What's the extra hand guard for?

Poor diagnostics

The original purchase came with an installed Numrich over-receiver scope mount. 

Bought the ventilated guard with the Choate folder.

Wrongly assumed ejection failures due to scope mount; spent brass hitting mount and deflecting back down into receiver.

Bought the railed guard to solve a problem which may or may not have contributed to the FTE issues

The railed guard is a nice piece of aluminum, I don't like the extra weight it adds out front and get too hot to touch while shooting.

The M1 Carbine is a fun little rifle and excellent for home defense. I have two. One is just like Uncle Sam issued them, but the other I've played with a bit. 

Max Brooks, author of "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z" feels that the M1 Carbine is the ideal Zombie gun. Who am I to doubt the expert? So I built myself a Zombie Rifle. :rock:

Gray, that is awesome, especially with the bayonet lug for extra zombie poking.

What model Reflex? I have a 1" tube red dot, which is border line too small to be mounted that far forward; I've decided not to re-install the over-receiver scope mount.

I agree that the M1 would make a good zombie gun. At 100 yards it has about the same energy as the muzzle energy of a 357 Magnum with an equivalent bullet weight.

That's an old EoTech 512 that I've had for years. Yeah, I know, they're supposed to be bad, lose zero, whatever. Mine's never given me a bit of trouble. 

The bayonet lug came on the barrel, but I don't have a blade to fit it. If you can find one, the prices are nuts.
