Perhaps someone might have a quick solution to this question.
I have a M1 .30 Carbine; Inland 1943... It fails to go completely into battery using hand loads or factory ammo, when hand cycling {slap charging handle} of the weapon to load it.
Off and on'.., it will also fails to go into battery when firing. The weapon is in great condition near mint; it's been cleaned and lightly oiled. The ejector and extractor are working fine, however I suspect the ejector is the problem while the bolt is trying to close. If I give the charging handle a very little assist, it locks the lugs right up into battery. Bolt face is clean. {Could the spring be too strong in the extractor?}
The rifle was completely disassembled de-greased, check for wear'..., cleaned with gun solvent and high pressure air…. and it still happens.
Thank for any suggestions... it's really a great gun.
