The M1 has always been an iconic firearm to me as playing Call of Duty got me into firearms and military history at a young age. It's one of the 2-3rd cheapest of the full-bore semi-autos. Also, who doesn't love having 8rnds on tap! Yes, I know its a 10lbs heavy rifle but, am 6'4" 290lbs guy so the weigh doesn't really put me off...
So here comes the issue that is making me stop and not wanting to buy one. Can you use the 8rn clips for it while hunting? Because the hunting regulations explicitly state 5rns only for hunting. I know that there are 5rn clips for the M1 but, from my research, they seem to be a pain to get ahold of.

Have the 8 round pinned to five and you are good to go. If it isn't pinned you will be charged. Other consideration, the 30 Carbine is a VERY anaemic round and not a great choice for a hunting round. On top af that many M1 carbines are restricted, like a hand gun, unless you are talking the full length 30-06, 308 M-1 rifle. Then you are good for powder, still need to pin the mag. None of the full length M1s are restricted that I know of.
