Teaming up with Springfield Armory, Air Venturi is pleased to announce two new gas-powered M1 Carbine replicas, a .177-caliber BB gun and a skirmish-ready airsoft rifle.

The licensed replicas are built to recreate the real thing in terms of weight and balance in order to mimic handling the real .30-caliber carbines, whether you’re plinking or re-enacting. They both use a gas blowback action and both feed from 15-round magazines which contain one 12-gram CO2 cartridge.

Loaded with 5.1-grain steel BBs the air rifle fires projectiles at up to 425 feet per second. The air rifle gets about 40 shots per cartridge. The airsoft gun fires .2-grain airsoft BBs at 450 feet per second and gets 60 shots per cartridge.

Both are listing in stores at around $199, with spare magazines running about $34. They are all-metal magazines that, like the carbines, have a similar look and feel to the real thing. These are a great way to get behind an M1 Carbine in the backyard or even indoors.
