@19x130mm Its not that its a piece of junk. Blank ammo is nothing but powder and it'll gunk up a gun 10x as fast as ordinary ammo because of all that carbon build up

@LimpingCrow what 1st 2 versions? the push was the orginal safety than in agust of 45' they came out with the flip safety because guys would accidently push the mag catch instead of the safety an so on,i would read up a little more on the carbine,his carbine already has a repop lowwood m1a1 stock.I did a complete restoration of an m1 carbine on my channel ,i think i know what im talking about :D

@bargunner18 Why? In all reality the flip saftey was used on the first two versions and then the switched to the push button saftey. If you are going to have a original gun, I would keep it in the early configuration, worth more money and mroe of a collector piece then the frankenstien variations out there.

i cant tell but it looked like you flipped the safety,i would get a push button repop safety,available on ebay from$10-$20 bucks,other than that looks good,btw do they sell highwood repop m1a1 stocks?

Good use would not be killing it with those blank rounds. :[ Those things are NASTY on weapons! Make sure its pretty much dripping with lube; might help with some of the jamming too.

@dukeww2 Very rare and expensive, but You can now get reproduction paratrooper stocks,as we as a whole new rifle. BIG 5 has the Auto Ordinance ones in stock, usually,and I'm sure AO makes a paratrooper model as well,all new.
Good luck!
@DXsukIT and combloarms: Good eyeball. I had this carbine converted to blankfire to use for re-enactment. Hard to replicate the missing recoil, but at events, I try. Indeed, the carbine has more recoil than you'd expect from such a caliber. In another vid, you can see my sister-in-law shooting my live carbine.
@ Doloii: It still is a very loose thing, but it'll last with some proper TLC. Luckily, being that loose and simple makes it easy to service. And that is a big plus, in the field!
