Sorry, I didn't see an e-mail address for you. Concerning your metal handguard sticking up on that M1 Carbine. The problem is those metal handguards. They are all way to high and they are warped. I suggest getting a wooden guard that should easily fix that problem. The other way I fixed that problem was to buy a scope mount for my "shooter" M1 Carbine (that is if I owned an M1 Carbine, let alone two) and stick a BSA red dot sight on it. That is a lot of fun let me tell you. Not a problem at all getting a sight picture now.
So that is managable. Just get a wood handguard for $7-10 at the next gun show that matches the stock, it should fix that problem. If you are real adventurous, get the red dot sight and then you will have zero problem.
Good luck.
