A friend of mine has an M1 Carbine that hasn't been shot in some time. I shot it tonight and it pretty much shot flawlessly, not to mention it was a lot of fun.
The only problem was it had trouble chambering the last round. I don't know a lot about magazines, but it appeared that the mag spring didn't have enough power to push the last round up so the bolt could catch it. I was going to take it apart and see what I could do, but the magazine is locked up pretty tight and I don't think I can mess w/it without the risk of ruining the magazine.
Where is the best place to find a normal M1 magazine? I checked CDNN but they only carry the high-capacity ones. Then I found these here: http://www.keepshooting.com/firearmaccessories/magazines/m1carbinemag.htm
and they appear to be as close to the original as I could find. Does anyone know anything about this website or can anyone offer any advice? Thanks...
