30 M1 Carbine - help

[Mulliganpaintdee]

Hello, my father has just passed away (God rest his soul). My brother and I inherited his new and old firearms. The one firearm I wanted to keep was his 30 M1 Carbine. It has very many fond memories of my father taking us out and shooting it. I would like to restore this weapon and keep it that way as so I can pass it along down the line once that time comes. Can anyone here give me some helpful information on this particular rifle and how to keep it well maintained? Any help and or pointers would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Denton

It looks like a Universal M1 carbine not USGI M1 Carbine. I have one and also in joy shooting it. They are similar to GI M1 so you can use this link for disassembly and reassembly instructions. Enjoy http://www.surplusrifle.com/m1carbine/index.asp

Anyone else have any good tips or diagrams for this particular firearm?
