Springfield Armory M1 Carbine. Help!

[Cooperman26]

Has anybody got any advice on the Springfield Armory M1 carbine Co2!?

I’m trying to understand if the full wood version is only for 4.5mm steels or if the faux wood is for 6mm regular airsoft. Or can it take both!?
 

DefconAirsoft have it listed here; so I would presume it’s 6mm airsoft.. (I have emailed them asking for clarity but haven’t received a response as of yet)

onlybbguns faux wood here; again under airsoft so I presume again it does..

However, I have gone through YouTube for a good few hours, and the majority of videos I’ve found are all using the 4.5mm steels whether it be full wood or faux wood!

I’m at a complete loss of what to believe. 
 

Any help or information would be appreciated!

Other sites have it firing 4.5mm bb's, I'll assume those are steel ones.

The Springfield M1 appears to be a rebrand of the Marushin/King Arms M1 and has been sold as a 4.5mm air gun and a 6mm Airsoft gun, As these links are stating airsoft they both are 6mm

Doing some digging I read that King Arms is a small China based firm and read that Springfield is actually a US based one. I could be wrong!

I have just watched this;

I saw this too. But it seems to be the same model as the one on defcon no?

Springfield Armoury are the original manufacturer of the real M1 carbine and shut down in 1968. The current company going by the name Springfield Armoury were formed in 1974 and are not related.

No real gun manufacturers also make airsoft guns, some may allow it under licence but play no part in production. The closest you'll get is if you buy a umarex walther clone as walther is owned by umarex but even then manufacturer is outsourced to a 3rd party.

The description on the link to defcon says airsoft multiple times. It's firing 6mm bbs

That's an airgun channel not airsoft, hence its name.

He’s done a few bits not just airguns. But it’s ok, this is why I ask because I was confused so the responses are appreciated! ?

Ive also had a response from Defcon!

”Hi Ben
 
The supplier code for the real wood 6mm airsoft version is SA-M1CC6WSE
 
The supplier code for the real wood .177/4.5mm version is SA-M1CC6E
 
I hope this helps somewhat.
Thanks
