I need a new m1 Carbine bolt. Mine must have had a crack and the small 1/2 inch side arm by the extractor broke while cycling it.
Does Fulton Armory have good parts? They list an m1 and an m2. Mine is the round version vs flat type bolt. How does that relate to m1 vs m2. I saved the pieces, so maybe I only need the stripped bolt, but who knows what else is flakey. Can new ones be obtained? ------------------ Robert Littleton CO NRA Life, CSSA, RMGO |

Fulton Armory has an excellent reputation. You will not go wrong with them. Round bolt was developed for the M-2, I believe to reduce cyclic rate, but is interchangeable with M-1. I do know that it was approved as a substitute standard.

The round bolt's increased mass also is reputed to increase overall reliability. Provides a slightly stronger "push" to chamber the rounds.

The round bolt was not actually developed for the M2, but unless originality is of concern (as it is not in your case) I would use the round bolt for any replacement.
