I'm sorry if I offended you, that was certainly not my intention. I don't see anything i wrote as "uncivil". I certainly appreciate all you are doing to help me.
I'm just saying that it's easy to dismiss my post as that of a newb (i've got 400 posts on THR)... "ohh there must be something wrong with my gun because i have to work a bit to make this lever to cock the hammer". I've had an overheated mosin with a stuck bolt.... that is almost the level of resistance we are talking about. And it's sporadic... sometimes its pretty easy to work the bolt.
I'm no newb when it comes to operating a rifle. While I haven't shot a lot of m1 carbines, I can't imagine that they were designed to operate the way mine is. It requires either luck or unreasonable strength to open the bolt when the hammer is uncocked. Combat ready, it is not.
