My favorite gun light and handy and more powerful than a pistol . It is a reliable weapon but usually they need some maintenance after all those years.
Perhaps you might investigate the gas piston. I have an early model and it would only cycle once per pull of the trigger. Shot old ammo and new, but had the same result. Some M-1 Carbines have gas pistons that were not fully hardened. It takes a special tool to remove the gas piston nut, but if you apply moderate heat from a propane torch and a little bit of muscle with a properly sized screw driver and a hammer you can free the piston nut. M-1 Carbine parts are easy to find. On the other hand, your gas piston just needs some love (WD-40, Hoppe's "9, Rem Oil, etc. to remove the carbon). Be well, Sir!
You might want to slap the mag home, don't baby it when you insert the mag, put it in firmly and then slap the bottom of the mag a time or two. It is a MILITARY rifle; it was designed to be handled rough. That might explain the failure to feed issues not the age of the ammo. The ammo age only comes into picture when dealing with corrosive primers as were used in World War 2.
The M-1 Carbine that he has is a late war model OR it was a depot rebuild. The safety you mentioned came very late war (1944-45) along with the type 3-barrel band.
@@gunlocker7562 i noticed that my carbines all shoot reliable if i oil them if they are bone dry they will not shoot as well very very nice carbine you have by the way.

Yep. If not the mags being the issue it's probably that. Thanks
That’s awesome that you have real WW2 M1 Carbines! I have one that my father in law gave me but it’s sporterized like you said lol.
They are fun guns no matter what though.

did u lubricate it all before you fired it
Of course not. Good point I had that whole mindset of buying the gun and taking it right out to the range.
