Evening RAF,
Has anyone replaced the seals on an M1 Carbine magazine? I bought a spares and repairs one a while back and it seems the previous owner has made a right mess of the seals around the piercing pins. The rifle works perfectly as I have tested it with some working mags I have with my other M1. Was wondering whether replacement seals are available easily?
Also, to remove these seals I will need a long valve tool type device as I always feel a bit nervous around using a wide flat blade screwdriver. Has anyone come across a device like a screwdriver with the twin pronged end that comes on a valve tool? I have an adaptor type thing that fits on a flat head screwdriver but in all honesty it's bobbins.

I modded a flat blade screwdriver to do the same thing.

Not finding any reference to replacement seals for these out there on t'internet. Thinking of moving on the M1 Carbines to make space so at least I have 1x good mag per gun. Might get rid of the others as spares or repair at post value

Yes mate, I have 2x good to assign to each rifle and then 2x with the shredded seals. Everything else on them looks good though. |
