M1 Carbine Slide Stop Removal/Installation

M1 Carbine Slide Stop Removal/Installation

[@davidmeredith7666]

Excellent work Sir. I was giving the Ol' carbine a clean and accidentally dropped the operating slide. Needless to say the pin went one way and the spring went the other. After recovering both, I found your video and Bob's your uncle! Couldn't have done it without yah. Cheers.

[@norwich93CMP]

Glad to help!!!

Fought with this for 45 min. Used your procedure and it was in in 2 min. Thanks.

[@pr4runner]

Wonderful knowledgeable tips you have given thru out your videos. I just keep watching and learning. Just got into these WWII relics this past year and you have been an a treasure trove of information. Thank you for your time making and posting these videos. Too bad many others don't thumbs up b/c your process are straight forward, detailed and simple to follow. Thank you again for making these videos.

[@norwich93CMP]

Thanks!!!

[@dwagner825]

Thanks! I struggled for 15 minutes with this until I saw your post on the CMP forums for another video. Bam! 30 seconds and done. Thanks for all the great videos for us novice but die hard Carbine collectors.

[@beinrichbimmler7829]

This is excellent. I have not seen a better demonstration of how you do this task.

[@norwich93CMP]

[@blakeolson3465]

[@johnhamre990]

What the hell did we do before You Tube? Guys Like Norwich93CMP has made first class armorers out of all of us almost!!.

+Larry Hansen Thanks!!!

I haven't tried this but I'm planning to. You've made it easy to do thanks to your video. I was wondering if it's even possible for the slide stop to be installed upside down? When I push on it, it's like pushing on the tip of pin and it actually hurts! I haven't looked closely enough yet, maybe it's chipped or cracked off which is causing it to be so sharp. OR maybe it's installed with the wrong end facing up but I don't know if that's even possible. All of your vids are great! Thanks for creating these!

[@norwich93CMP]

Sometimes an extractor spring was accidentally put in. It had one more coil and makes it really hard to move it.

[@paulpm]

thanks for the reply. it's that the top of the slide stop/release is pointy. I will try to get a pic but I don't think my phone camera is good enough to capture it.

[@paulpm]

norwich93CMP YT won’t let me post a pic or email you a pic. They must have changed things.

[@yutaja]

Mine is impossible to press in by hand when trying to lock the bolt to the rear, I need a flat tool to press down hard with until it snaps in place. I may need a new stop & spring.

[@norwich93CMP]

You may have an extractor or other spring inside than the correct one.

[@yutaja]

@@norwich93CMP Do you think I could use a spring from around the house for the slide stop like one from a ballpoint pen or something? If I were to order one I may as well order a whole new spring kit for the money.

[@brich2929]

@@yutaja order the Spring kit from Sarco.

[@4590Lenny]

Thank you ,God bless.

[@STEVEOMEMES]

norwich93CMP hi... I have watched all your M 1 carbine video THANK's ... Do you have a video on how to use the trigger spring tool ? i am going to take my trigger housing apart. i have the tool, I haven't seen a video on You Tube as of yet.

[@norwich93CMP]

Thank you for your kind words. A video will not come out on the trigger spring tool because it is too simple. The coiled end goes on the hole on the tool, insert the spring in the rear of the housing moving forward with the lip down. After the trigger is in it will hold the spring in place. Done.

[@STEVEOMEMES]

@@norwich93CMP Ah ok thank's norwich 93. your video are great , very well done to 👍

[@midewo]

my m1 carbine slide does not stay put when the slide is pulled back.... i can actually hit the gun with the palm of my hand near the strap holder close to the muzzle and the slide will close.... i am thinking i need to replace these 2 little parts in this excellent video.... you guys agree????

[@norwich93CMP]

They were very sensitive and almost all of mine do the same thing. It was only for a temporary hold open, nothing like other large rifles. I would leave it alone if the edges of the stop and receiver cut are sharp.

[@wakkoss]

Good video.

[@wildernessmediciCarl]

nicely done thx

[@norwich93CMP]

Thanks dwag!

[@BG-bx4ey]

What does this part do? My M1 does not have one.

[@norwich93CMP]

It holds the slide back without holding it with your hand.

[@BG-bx4ey]

norwich93CMP Ok... the slide on mine jumps out on occasion and I was hoping it had something to do with that

[@norwich93CMP]

Brandon Gasper That's not good, the bottom of your slide might be worn. Its a small tab at the bottom of the box. If the slide is all the way forward move it in the receiver, if there is a lot of play then that's the problem more than likely.

[@ShellShock11C]

Great video for an idiotic design. Heads up people, if you dont have an awl, you can use a thumb tack. I did and it worked just as well.
