    TruOil works like magic. I just did my stock and the grain came up beautifully.

    Wow $899 for an M1 Carb !
    Guess my original Rockola must be worth $1200 now
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    Mine shoots really well. It just shoots to high. I guess I have to file the front sight.

    Unless some knows how to adjust an M1 with fixed sights for elevation.

    The answer is "Yes".

    NICE - they have a winner once people figure out how useful the carbine is. Now if only I could get NS to bring in some barrels, that would be perfect.

    If it shoots too high, you need a higher front sight, not a lower one.

    Most rifles intended for battle with limited or fixed elevation in their rear sights, tend to strike high at closer ranges most people normally shoot(50-100yds or less, good pistol distance). Better high than low. Look at any silhouette target and see why high is good. Allows someone unable through stress or fog of battle to obtain hits on a target with a low center hold at most distance he can see a target, but doesn't have time to range. Any hit is a good hit in Battle.
    If these carbines have copied the original M-1 sights to a letter, this is probably why.
    You may try different ammo, though I'm sure most loads with the 110grFMJ's will probably shoot to approx same zero. You can look for a higher front sight to tailor the zero to your load of choice for POA hits, or just be happy with a six o'clock hold on a 12" bull and see them fall in the center, or high center. Windage error is alot more detrimental to a battle rifle than a nice high, but perfectly centered zero.
    A Glock pistol is "Perfection" in every direction. As for myself,....... Have Gun, will Babble.

    I got a repro paratrooper stock from marstar a couple years ago, great quality. Don't know if they still sell them.
