what I did was take out all my original parts-including springs and ordered replacement NEW parts from Khar Arms as they make new carbines according to early design

If thier carbines are anything like thier Thompsons in quality , that was not wise.

Chris is 110% correct on what he said. Better to get new USGI surplus then something from Khar.
