Just a general question; can anyone offer a recommendation of where I might get our early/mid WW II production Inland M 1 Carbine inspected and repaired? While it is in ok original (if well worn) condition, never appears to have been re-arsenalled or upgraded and retains the "old style" mag catch & safety, it just isn't very reliable and I'd like to see some improvement in that area. I've tried the obvious fixes with new springs, better lubrication, NOS correct GI mags, hotter ammo and so on...but I'm ready to let an experienced pro take a look. Not looking to refinish or make the rifle pretty, just a better shooter. This rifle has a lot of sentimental value to our family as my late FIL owned it for almost 35 years, so I don't mind spending a few bucks...I can send the weapon to and receive from fairly easily as it is on my C&R FFL Log, etc. Additionally, although it *appears to not be* a newly-restricted AW under IL law...I'm am exempt from it owing to my occupation and can send/receive it as my property regardless. Any ideas would be appreciated...thanks!
