I recently purchased a 1944 Inland M1icon Carbine which I have not fired yet. With an empty mag or no mag at all, the bolt seems to function in good order. When I placed a loaded mag in the gun and manually functioned the bolt only about 20% of the rounds will load into the chamber far enough for the gun to go into battery and many of those don't even come close. I have tried the mag that came with the gun (I believe it is USGI) as well as a new after market mag from Brownell's; I have also tried two different types of ammunition no of which have resulted in any improvement.

I've been looking around on this site and elsewhere but haven't been able to find anything helpful. I'm hoping that someone on this forum can help solve my problem or direct me to somewhere that can.

Thanks,
Jeff
