I now own an M-1 Carbine that my father bought in 1968. It was fired for the first time ever today. I'm having some feed problems. Sometimes the round will strip and overshoot the chamber, jamming up at 12 o'clock. Sometimes the bolt doesn't strip the round and closes on an empty chamber.
I am fairly certain that it's a magazine problem but am also wondering about the bolt spring. It doesn't seem to have as much force as I expected it to. Mind you that expectation is based on absolutly no experience with a carbine.
Anthing anyone can suggest is appreciated.
