Springfield Armory® M1 Carbine
The standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, the Korean War, and well into the Vietnam War is now available as a replica – choose between the M1 Carbine .177 BB CO2 Air Rifle, or CO2 Airsoft Rifle.
As an air rifle, the M1 features a 15 round magazine and is powered by a single 12-gram CO2 cartridge. It features a metal upper receiver with a synthetic wood look stock. Shooting up to velocities of 425 fps (with a 5.1 grain steel BB), the M1 Carbine Air Rifle gets nearly 40 shots per cartridge.
As an airsoft rifle, the M1 shoots up to 450 fps (w/a .2g airsoft BB) and gets nearly 60 shots per fill. The semi-auto action is powered by a single 12-gram CO2 cartridge and features full blowback. Great for skirmishing!

When the XD(M)® series of polymer pistols were introduced in 2007 from Springfield Armory®, the line featured a ground-breaking design that offered new and higher standards for ergonomic comfort, ease of operation, features and performance. Over one decade later, Air Venturi brings this legendary series to the airgun and airsoft replica market, in both compact (3.8") and standard (4.5") configurations. The .177 BB
CO2 series features a 20 rd mag, full blowback and can shoot velocities of up to 325 fps. The airsoft pistol series are powered by green gas (with CO2 magazines available) and can shoot up to 280 fps in the compact models, and up to 330 fps in the standard models.
Both the airsoft and airgun versions offer interchangeable backstraps, like its firearm counterpart, for ergonomic comfort. The 3.8" compact versions offer coordinating grip frame extensions to allow the use of the longer 4.5" version magazines.
Both BB and airsoft models will be available in all
black and black frame/silver slide finishes starting in spring 2019.
"We are beyond excited to be launching both the M1 Carbine rifle series and XD(M)® pistol series as our first replicas from the iconic Springfield Armory® line of firearms," said Val Gamerman, President of Air Venturi. "The M1 Carbine embodies the history of the revered firearm that was used not only the U.S. military, but by military, paramilitary and police forces around the world. The XD(M)® series of pistols, available in 8 different configurations, will be available in spring 2019, and will be a hit with airgunners, replica enthusiasts and airsoft fans alike."
"With the 2019 release of the M1 Carbine and XD(M)® officially licensed replicas, this marks Springfield Armory's first chapter in the airgun and airsoft industry," stated Steve McKelvain, Springfield Armory® President. "This is the first of many replica rifles and pistols that will solidify both Air Venturi and Springfield Armory's place in the progression of quality airguns and airsoft guns."
