Guest matt Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi Jack, Rather than removing the rear sight I'd suggest you remove the stock,fit your mag pouch,and refit the stock. I have stripped that carbine down as far as it is possible to strip a new spec deact as when I bought it it was covered in a thick layer of grease and other crap. Matt.

Jack Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 OK Matt, got a screw driver.......and I am going in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Remember that the stud on the backside of the mag pouch for the M1 carabine ( Thats hooks up for the stud on the belt...) Makes a ugly dent in your stock unless removed... Regards Minnie As a reserve officer, Owner of M1 Carabine, and 2 M1 rifles kept in the order they all should have been- (a)live and kicking... Some of the Norwegian legislation is actually quite OK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 You can have live service rifles in Norway? in that case I'm moving there Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Job done. ......just two screws and that was the lot done :shock: The onlt problem now is that I can't fit the mags inside :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hi Matt Yes as an Reserve Ofiicer there are some clearly positive advantages. One of them is owning semi automatic rifles...... Our closest Allied, past and present, are most welcome. Some of the most memrable moments in my time of service was NATO related activity involving cooperation with units from GB Winter, snow and high taxes are among the other aspects that must taken in consideration moving to Norway Regards Minnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripp Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 The onlt problem now is that I can't fit the mags inside I had that problem. To get the mags in I had to get the canvas wet so it became pliable, not soaking but fairly damp. Put the mags in then and when it dries out it'll retain the right size and shape.

stanpart57 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 My magazine pouches have only ever had wooden dummies in them, at least in my ownership! Just have to look out for wood rather than tin-worm Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
