I like the recoil plate screw.

Yep, I need to check that. I have original screws and escutcheons.

Range update: Took it to the range to see how the Carbine shoots. (ME on it was "0", so I doubt if this late 1944/early 1945 original had many rounds through it.



I started with the M1 Carbine 25 yard battle sight/acceptance target. When they checked carbines for serviceability, they do 10 rounds into this target at 25 yards. If the rounds all went within the dotted lines, it was considered serviceable.



I did a 5 round group or R-P 110 FMJ at 25 yards, and they were a 1" group, dead center in the black just about the top edge of the bottom dotted line. With the sight on the 100/150 setting, that group puts it dead on at 150 according to the ballistic chart. I did not have to adjust it at all, so it was dialed in when I got it. I then went on to break clay pigeons laying on the 100 yard berm with a 6 o'clock hold. Good enough to whack a zombie/troll/goblin/felon/reaving insurrectionist!

It is now my Home Defense Carbine, loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 110 grain FTX tip, .30 Carbine (2030 fps from GI carbine), which actually clocks about 60 fps faster than GI and 100 fps than R-P.
