so my m1 carbine suddenly stopped cycling reliably. I mean in between mags. I'm shooting lead so I thought enh, time to clean the gas system. I pulled the castle nut, and the piston will not move. Not in or out, not side to side, nothing. So I put it in the garage muzzle down and fulled the area around the piston with outers nitro bore solvent (claims to remove lead deposits) and left it overnight. no change. I tried wd-40, still nothing. I tried tapping it with a wood block and got nothing.
Does anybody have any great ideas. brake or carb cleaner? I'm starting to think about putting the castle nut only half way on or leaving it off altogether and touching off a round to break it free, which I know is a terrible terrible idea, which means I'm starting to get desperate. help
