Do you have a Bolt Tool?

Have one on the way. Don't have a sight tool. Would look for someone local that could do it

To change the rear sight to a type 1 flip sight may very well bring your carbine back into alignment. Front sights were adjusted to the flip sights and when replaced with an adjustable rear sight the front sights were not replaced so they are off sometimes quite a bit.

I've had good luck with Matrix carbine tools:

Thinking about your Ejection @45* may be a bound Ejector and Spring.... or worn out tip on it.
Extractor may have a chip or burr under the lip.
Stem plunger and spring could be bound up a bit with crud.
Either way a Bolt Tool is a must IMHO to break down, service/clean and re install.

Some will also call for a new Op Slide Main Spring.

I believe as long as you know you have a clean chamber, most times it's the Ejectors tip gone bad. Needing a upgrade to a newer/better style. Or chipped/burr under Extractor lip (can be lightly filed)
Late Op Slides can also help..... but I'll stop here.

P.S, Make sure you can push the tip of the Ejector in, and feel the spring push back out as you back off. Macro pic of bolt face would help.

Replaced all bolt springs and ejector with new parts. Also, put a type 5 Winchester slide in it. Took it out today and Shot about 250 Rounds. I could not stop. All i took with me. Should have taken more. 1/2 of the rounds were reloads. 1st attempt at 30 carbine. I was very happy with the results. I did have one round Stovepipe. Not quite a stovepipe but close. It did jam. It was a reload.

At 50 yards hitting target ok. Then went to 100 yards. Could not hit target. Figured out I was hitting Hi. So I aimed for bottom of target and hit the top. Took about 20 rounds to figure out. So I finally got out my reading glasses and looked at the rear sight. I thought I put it all the way forward but it still 1.5 clicks left. So I moved it all the way down (Froward) I believe the 100 yard marker and started to hit target at aim point.

My brass problem was fixed also, I got almost all my brass back. It hit consistently at about 4:00 position. Put my range bag there and it got at least 1/2 in the opening. The rest I had to pick up.

Thanks to everyone that helped. This is a great gun and what a blast to shoot.

PS I-44 is spot on. Were me? Once correctly positioned and shooting straight, I wouldn't restake. A drop of Blue loc-tite will work.

Glad we could be of assistance...

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing with replacing the rear sight with a flip: Your adjustable sight was staked down and those stake marks are usually well defined, so you will see them and that is fine if you are not passing it off as being original to the gun but just for your own pleasure. I have replaced several of my sights with flips as I prefer them and I like the look and the serial number and maker ID is much easier. I was lucky, most of mine had very shallow stake marks to none at all.

If I replace the rear sight it will be just for me. I am not a collector, I just want to shoot the thing. I like the look of the type 1 flip sight. Also would be nice to see the winchester on receiver. now I can just make out the W and R that is it.For all I know it is a W R Receiver. It did come with CMP Cert and the sn matches the Cert.

I think sn put it with a type 2 sight.
