- ya, know, this sets me to thinking: the 10 would seem (at first blush) to be
- about the right size for a gas-operated semi carbine, say something like an
- updated M1 Carbine. A full-house 10 or (ha!) a +P 10 tends to eat handguns up,
- but where you could devote some more beef to the receiver and a gas machanism,
- I would think that it might be a decent round for a brush-busting deer
- carbine.

- any other thoughts? am I up too late?
