First step . . .
Local club, find someone ex-military and ask them to take a look at it.
Most anyone who was ex-military and had to learn to field strip/shoot an M1 Carbine should be able to at least point you in the right direction as to what's wrong.
Second step . . .
Take a look for M1 Carbine forum/website they probably will have the military field manuals or a pointer to them. Very useful in T/S the gun.
You may not need a gunsmith to fix the problem, whatever it is.
Third step . . .
If you really need to pay someone to fix it, head up to Four Seasons. See Tom and have him take a look at it.

Thanks hadn't thought about the club
I'll do that. I actually bought as a consignment piece from Four Seasons last week. Since it's consignment do you think they'll help out without it costing me a bunch? I'd call them myself but they are closed. Also I did post on a couple of other sites. Everyone is very helpful, but as I am not a mechanic the solutions presented are kind of Greek to me.
Appreciate it!

If you bought it from FS, bring it back there. I am certain that they will look it over and make it right for you. They build their reputation on that type of service!
Yes, I bought my CAR-15 preban from them (consignment piece), had a few problems and they fixed them at no charge to me.

And if you wanna make that gun really run, ship it off to Clint McKee at Fulton Armory. His web site is www.fulton-armory.com.
