Just took my M1 Carbine out to shoot a few rounds. Bolt did not want to close all the way. Temperature is 27 degrees Fahrenheit. I suspect that gun grease coupled with an old recoil spring is likely fault. I ordered a Carbine spring kit from Sarco. I will try again after the kit gets here and I have replaced the recoil spring et. al. The Carbine functioned fine that last time I fired it, but that was in the Summer when it was a whole lot warmer.
