Backdating an M1 Carbine to ww2 config?
Hi guys, just got my M1 Carbine. It has the later barrel band with the bayonet lug. Since I intend to use this rifle for reenacting, I want to covert it back to its world war II configuration. I took the rifle down to the barrel and reciever but for the life of me I cant figure out a way to get the band off of the gun, short of removing the sight or cutting the band off.
Ideas? Help?
