The good news is that the A/O M1 Carbine bolts are more durable than...

Those of the more expensive New Inland Carbines. This is sad and I hope that Ron Norton has his "soft bolt" problem solved before long. It could kill the New Inland Carbine's business before it becomes a success.

I am pleased, because I can say that the A/O carbine ins an excellent bargain for the money. A little bit of "fluff and buff", along with some new 30-round magazines and an M2 magazine catch, will make this A/O AOM 130 a bargain at half the price! :) All American made :Amflag2: and a bit of "ramp polishing" will make certain that it feeds Jacketed Soft Points. A real "man-stopper" if I ever saw one!

It has worked for 74 years and still works to this day.
