I was just shooting the M1 carbine and it's quite apparent that it's what Ruger had in mind when designing the 1022. They're very close in size, weight and appearance.
M1 Carbines are really fun!
As to the 10/22 Ruger even has a model that looks like the M1 Carbine: Ruger® 10/22® Carbine Autoloading Rifle Model 21138
This is exactly the issue. Not so much the issue of recoil as much as holding the rifle. I have between 30 and 70% of the strength of what it used to be holding something perpendicular to my body, and they higher you lift, the less strength I have. Putting a gallon of milk on the bottom shelf of the refrig, no issue. Trying to put in on the top shelf, can't be easily done with my left arm.
ARs are about 6.5 lbs, I appreciate the recs on the Ruger Mini in 5.56, it seems to be the lightest. A 9mm carbine I don't think has the same range/accuracy as the Mini? Also saw the Rem pump 7600, but can't find the wt spec

Good to know, not that I'll sell it.The old Ruger .44 Carbine is quite collectible these days, cost around $1K on GB.
How about an M1 Tanker Garand from Shuff’s Parkerizing?
