Hello everyone,
After reading Larry Ruth's Owner's Guide on the rifle, I have a couple questions regarding cleaning an M1 Carbine (Inland Div. '45).
1) I am thinking about going with a nylon-coated, copper-eliminator .30 cal one-piece cleaning rod from J Dewey (I currently have a muzzle guide and one of their nylon pull-thrus, but I have found rods easier to use with other rifles). Any tips on which this choice/others?
2) I know this is a topic that can be hotly contested, but any suggestions regarding bore cleaner, degreasing solvent, and gun oil? I am essentially rebuilding my cleaning kit, so I am very open to suggestions from others.
And just on a random add-on, the rear sight (adjustable, not flip) wobbles quite a bit in the rear sight receiver dovetail whilst dry-firing. Any recommendations other than having it staked in place by a gunsmith (I've seen on the CMP forums to use small brass shims or loctite)?
Thanks in advance!Information
