M1 carbine issue

[rspar]

So while out shooting my m1 carbine the bolt came loose from the slide somehow this past weekend. It popped out of the channel that moves it for lack of a better description. The only thing different was we were using up some old (60's?) ammo that was a little rough and didn't want to charge you sometimes had to push the bolt closed. Brought it home a cleaned it but we don't see anything particularly wrong. I did manage to lose the spring for the pin that is suppose to hole the slide open. I did see how they expected that to work certainly with the old style straight pin.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Who made the gun? Is this a GI m1 carbine or a commercial copy?

Don't know it only says US carbine on it. Inherited it many years ago from my dad. Haven't taken the time to research it much. I know from trying to figure out what was missing on the slide pin that it had the old style straight barrel pin so I think it's 40's but who knows it could be a hodge podge of parts.

Take a few photos of it and include a picture of the top rear of the receiver where the manufacturer's name and the serial number should be.

It says Alpine which means it's a 60's manufacture but I still enjoy it Does that help with the problem?
