   I am embrassed. After thinking there were two things in common when I swapped the bolt. Both were running the bolt and my reloads. I tune the reloads to the rifle I will be using them in. I go light as I can. I reloaded some rounds with an additional .5 grain of powder. The .U. bolt worked fine. Thanks for all the help and thought you guys gave this issue. 

Since I have a functioning M2 version, I will be placing my sporterized M1 carbine up for sale on the board in a few days. Before anyone gets upset, I'm running a disconnector registered  with my FFL/SOT.

	No problem…glad you figured it out. We all need a little brain-work now and then to keep things interesting. Any two bolts can act a little differently when not shot-in on a particular receiver.

	If one bolt was a flat top and the other a round bolt, light loads can make a difference due to bolt weight. The difference may not seem like much, but don't tell that to the carbine!
