strange carbine issue

[windsheer]

Hello calgun gang.
I purchase used a kahr m1 carbine . I finally got to shoot it and it was so bad it was hillarious.

It would not run through 10 round mag without a jam of sorts. either a double feed a nose dive a sideways nose dive, a fte = all of the above.
But I keep at it thinking a little use = break in , ya sure!
Well after a few more another strange problem , the op rod popped out of the groove.
I got it back but it continued to do that again & again.
I' think this is junk and should be mailed to kahr with a letter of love . Then straight to the smelter.

Has any of you all experienced folks out seen these type of problems any advise will be kindly appreciated any suggestions or as I like to say HELP!
I bought used at Blank arms in Escondildo .
I haven't told them as I'm thinking of selling it there back on consignment, but then the next lucky one would be in the same deal as me .
Now what !
Do you think Kahr will help or is got to be a couple of years old and out of warranty
Does the gun shop have any resposibility?

Good fun !


tanks for hearing me out

my usgi carbine would have plenty of ftf issues with the cheap crappy 10-round aftermarket mags. (never a problem with usgi mags) Never looked at the new commercially made ones but haven't heard much about them.

I would try different magazines. Of the CA OK ones that I have (and assuming you don't have any preban GIs as those work best) ProMag has always worked. M1s are very sensitive to mag specs, for example th e distance from the top of those two little nubs on the back of the mag to the top of the mag should be no less than 1.5" - too short and the thing won't feed correctly, at least that's the info I got off the CMP website and my experience watching a friend or two shoot & unjam their civilian type carbines.

10 round mags don't really work well out of the box. I had to modify mine. The lips that hold the ammo needed to be adjusted. I used needle nose pliers and bent them down just a smidge... They've been good since making the adjustment.
