Hi,
I just acquired a 6-digit serial number Inland with a 4-43 barrel date. I have two questions I'd like some advice on:
1: On the front of the right locking lug, where it engages the camming surface in the slide there is a noticeable bump right where the worn off finish area starts. It's not very big, but it definitely can be felt if I run my fingernail through that part. I'm thinking it is some very slight peening caused by the slide hitting it after every shot, but I wanted to ask members more experienced with the M1 Carbine if this is OK? I've attached a picture of the area in question.
2: I noticed that the recoil plate is loose in the stock, however if I tighten the screw down, I can't lower the action into the stock as the barrel will be angled upwards and I'd need to force it down to get the barrel band in its place. Any tips on how I could fix this?
Many thanks,
Tom
