I have an older M1 carbine that is in great shape but I can't go more than 5 rounds and the round hits the barrel and stops. Kinda like a stove pipe but not all the way out. I have replaced all the springs in the gun with a Wolff kit. It seems like the magazine is really loose in the well. The mag release is ok and doesn't appear to be worn out. I have tried about 20 different magazines and the problem is still the same. If I hold the magazine in the well tight, it works fine. Is that the problem? I was thinking that if I was to solder a shim of some kind on a magazine to take up the space in the mag well instead of holding the magazine up in there, that would fix the problem. Has anyone else had a problem with M1's jamming? I have even tried about
15 different kinds of ammo too. I'm at my wits end with this gun.:banghead:
