The M1 carbine has always been a good gun for small statue people. But 30 carbine has gone up and while in normal times you can find it, it was not as plentiful as 5.56 is.Ruger Mini's may not be military grade... but they are available in stainless steel, and my dainty little wife has had a few dainty little Minis just for that reason
