    Question about M1Carbines

    I am very happy with my carbine, I jut like to know more about my guns. The carbine was the first center fire I ever shot. I was maybe 10 -12 years old. I really wanted an Inland arms copy because they make my favorite cars and trucks. Thanks for all the help. Don

The stock is a brand new walnut from Boyds. The barrel is also new I think from surplus in Europe, The receiver is a...

    Garand Short stroking

    I read here about someone who had this same problem. I followed one of the directions to remove the spring so the bolt and operating rod would fall forward and reward under just gravity. Mine seemed to have one place where it started to stick. I tracked it down to the hammer and bolt contact...
