m1 carbine finds new home

[Ron 1]

just got a m1 today . it is a iver johnson
traded a 12 ga ithica pump w/deer slayer barrel (this gun has bloodied my nose for the last time)
i just cant help my self  sometimes i just want things so bad i get it. if she notices it in gun rack i ll have some splaining to do. i think i should have at least a week  or two.  even so it was a trade. for pics i would have to ask her for help and .... well you know. but it seems to be in excellent shape.  went out and touched off a few rounds oh is it sweet. look out mr coyote.

jus tell her yu drew boot on the trade!oh wait she may want the boot?tell yu spent it on ammo to keep the wolf from the door. good luk!

[woodchukhntr]

Was it an even trade?  If so, are there any more?

[Ron 1]

it was a even trade. and the only gun that i could talk him out of  so far the m1 seems to jam pretty bad i think that the spring in the clip is bad the shells dont like to chamber.

If you're using older surplus magazines, change the springs in the magazines.  That will probably help significantly.  Additionally, the recoil spring may be weak, and changing it to a new spring may also help significantly.

thank you for the advise i will try new springs. that is kind of what i was thinking the shells dont lift in the front high enough to get into the chamber.
