I recently purchased an M-1 Carbine and with it came an attachment that I never heard of or seen before. It is a (roughly) rectangular shaped piece of metal attached to two rods and it fits over the frame/bridge behind the bolt. When in place it acts as a deflector for fired cases that are being ejected. Is this an after market item or was it developed by government and issued as a standard item intended to be used with every carbine. It works fine and keeps the spent casings from flying in all directions, but it does get in the way if trying to use stripper clips. Was I fortunate to have gotten it with the rifle or is it a hard to find item. Thanks for any info. J. Cooper
