I'm not sure what you are having trouble with.Generally,US service weapons are made to be field stripped easily.

When working on them,do not force parts.If force is required,stop,look,think.

At the , end of the recoil spring nearest the muzzle,draw back the spring and guide .

Note the groove in the side of the reciever the slide rides in.there is a notch in that groove just behind that square corner of the opening in the top of the receiver.If you pull the op handle back tothat notch and lift up and out,it will come free easily pull the bolt forward,up,and to the right,and it will lift right out.

On the underside of the barrel,note the notch through the groove on the nautical port side of the rifle.That notch allows the slide to roll off couterclockwise.

Look over these pieces and see the features,Understand how they work,and it all gets very simple.

A test many,if not all,troops learned ,is to be able to fields strip and reaasemble their weapon in under 1 minute,blindfolded.

If you have some plain old tan lubriplate automotive grease,put a little on that cam where the bolt and slide fit together,and on the rails where the slide fits the barrel.A little oil in the spring ang guide is good,just generally look at where metal rubs metal and lube a little.

But,not in the gas cylinder under the barrel.

I suspect your carbine has no broken parts,it just needs good ammo,good mags,and to be clean and lubricated.

There are repro army field manuals available ,and there is one for the carbine.
