Folks,
In working on my other thread regarding M1 Carbine ammo issues, I check one M1 Carbine, and it passed headspacing (closed on go, partially closed on no-go, and did not close on field).
I decided to check a second one, and got different results. It closed on go, closed on no-go, and did not close on field.
Both rifles were tested with gauges that required bolt disassembly (Forster type).
In reading up, it is saying that it is ~ok to shoot (due to not closing on field), but recommends changing bolts. The question I have is:
Is the bolt change enough? Does the barrel need to be changed?
Any information from the MDS Knowledge Trust (MKT) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
