My shiny stainless Mini shot bigger groups at 50yds than the Plainfield did at 100. Sold the carbine to fund it.įirst range trip, I immediately regretted it. Since Iver Johnson was still around back then and making carbines, they fixed it under warranty.īTW, though I loved my Plainfield, I got the itch for a Mini 14. It seemed as if the metal hadn't been properly hardened. I took it apart, and discovered extreme wear in the cam surfaces of the op slide hump. On the second range trip, it started jamming. My friend bought an Iver back then, after shooting my then, Iver had taken over Plainfield. I believe they fell into covert CIA business, also. Plainfield made M2's for foreign military use. Interestingly, it was made with nearly all M2 parts, lacking the trip lever. Mine functioned perfectly, and was pretty accurate.

Back in the day, Plainfield carbines had a good rep, and one was the first centerifre longarm I bought.
