Keeping in mind that "late features" were all well engineered improvements to the M1 Carbine's basic design to make it more reliable, I decided to "upgrade" my Standard Products mix-master with late features. After all, if I am going to possibly depend on it to vanquish villains, goblins, and Mujahideen, I might as well make it as reliable as I can.
Accuracy is dialed in dead on at 150 yards with RP FMJ and JSP ammo, and basic reliability is tip-top, with new recoil, ejector, and extractor springs.
It now wears a really nice birch Pot-belly and 4 rivit handguard, courtesy of Bill Hollinger. Thanks to WW321q, who I traded an early Quality Hardware slide for it, It now has a late model Type V slide with the longer dwell time. The final item is a round bolt, which is in the mail as we speak.
When I get it all together, and test fire it again (including the 115 Bear Creek moly bullets over 11 grains of 2400 for plinking loads), and post a range report and some updated pictures.Information
