text: I am in the process of restoring two M1 Carbines that were WW2 and Korea issues. I have already rebuilt the trigger housings and refine the bolts plus refinished the stocks. But they were in a leaky closet for 50yrs and the front of both barrels are well beyond saving. This is where the waiting comes in. The CMP is about 5 months behind so I am waiting fir them to send me the shipping labels then they will install a new barrel in each set the head space test fire and certify as safe. It may end up being early next year before they are completed but I have patience
