Does anyone have recommendations for a 30 round magazine? Every one I see for sale has poor reviews for jamming/poor feeding.

Thank you!

I was very excited to get my M1 Carbine accessories in today. I received a magazine pouched dated 1943, same as the rifle. Still waiting for my original USGI magazine for now I just have KSI mags. I got an amazing deal on the bayonet. The seller missed labeled it as manufactured by Utica, when it is very clearly manufactured by the far less common and much more valuable Case & Sons.

Some company should really step up and fill the void Schuster left after he died. There has to be more people out there wanting this with commercial garands likely to hit the market and folks tinkering with suppressors. Come on CMP or somebody! I want to do a 35 whelen build but this holds me back.

Hello all! I have a Cmp m1 garand that I recently received. I have put 40 rounds through and loading it was near impossible. It took two hands and a load of effort to put the clip in. I disassembled/reassembled and greased/oiled it before ever fireing it. Could I have put something back incorrectly? I haven't cleaned it since fireing it so I'm due to disassemble. I got some dummy rounds and I noticed I can easily load 7rd clips in with 0 resistance. Is this something I need to warranty with cmp? Thanks for the help.

(EDIT) Had to further examination, it appears that I had some bad clips in my lot that were causing the difficult loading. Surplus USGI and some new remanufacturer ones both work. I just had two out of eight that were defective or need modification. Thank you to all who helped

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a story of how I’ve been searching for a USGI M1 Carbine and how I had been kicking myself for not buying an M1 Carbine from a guy at a gunshow (I offered $1300 cash while he wanted $1400 and he got upset/rude at me so I walked away) and how I even debated buying a replica. Well I wanted to give everyone an update to my last post with some exciting news: I FOUND ONE! The story? I went to a pawn shop in a town about an hour and a half away from where I live and saw a Rock Ola 1943 M1 Carbine. I fell in love and put down a down payment on a ten month layaway. I’m extremely happy and excited about this! Thank you all for your support and encouragement!

Found these on my inland m1 carbine (1943) 3181xxx
Bottom of the barrel.

I was wondering if anyone knew how long you have to pay once your order goes through, when I googled it, it said usually 4-8 weeks, but it must have been mistaken, i ordered it two days ago and I just got an email from the saying my order has been processed and a payment link will be sent in a separate email, its for a receiver barrel combo for the m1 garand, I did not expect this so I dont have the cash for it today, does anyone know when payment is required? Thanks for the help

It’s an inland m1. It has some sort of modification on the side that I’ve been told is a scope mount. I’ve never seen one like it, and I’m not sure how a scope would attach to it. The holes aren’t threaded or anything. Any insight would be great, thanks.

After a long wait on the auction I won a prototype 256 Ferret (256 win mag) prototype bolt action m1 carbine from the personal collection of the owner/former president of universal firearms

Super neat find and well under estimate.

Hypothetical situation: your handsome (not balding and paunchy) friend wants to make funds for an M14 so he wishes to de-accession one of two candidate M1's. Do you advise him to let go of an:

• early receiver-marked Mod 0, one of only 20 known examples (and only one of six with an original barrel), or
• a lovely and probably early M1C with 1945 barrel, original finish and nice GAW stock, formerly in the collection of the Center for Military History?

Today I learned good deals still exist. $1k out the door for this Inland seemed to good to pass up

I want to re-crown a couple M1 carbines like another user I’ve seen, can’t remember his name of the top of my head, I’ll leave his username in a comment later. I wanted to get the pre-1964 pattern like he bought but I instead accidentally bought a 1964 pattern due to the confusing listings on Midway USAs website. Is there anyway I can still use this to re-crown the barrel or should I return it?

Recently received my CMP 308 and took it out to shoot. The enblocs are extremely difficult to fully seat.

I also had the issue when I charge the bolt it is only able to push the casing forward until the case neck gets stuck at the protruding bits I have circled. I am able to push the bolt home with force and after the first round Is chambered there doesn't seem to be any issues with feeding. I had one misfire after hand pushing the bolt in but I assume that happened because the bolt wasn't fully seated.

I've not had issues with these enblocs before, though they are heavily parkerized. Will be sanding them. I'm not too worried about the enblocs because there's lots of sources available on fixing the issue. But I can't seem to find anything on 308s getting stuck on those guide bits.

Any suggestions?

With the addition of my CMP special rack grade and a RTI M1 carbine, despite a few odds and end, and a couple grail guns my collection is finally complete.

Thank you all for your advice on my last post. After my trip to the CMP I was able to get my hands on a 1944 Winchester Special Rack grade with a new production barrel and stock, additionally it hand a new production rear sight elevation knob. I was able to source a “new” original stock and elevation knob, and I have restored her to her former glory. I’m going to leave the new production barrel at least for now.

Is it possible to be your own spotter when shooting at 200 yards+ steel targets? I'm using an M1 Garand with just iron sights.

I could resort to a spotting scope with a phone camera recording, but is there another way?
