TR,
I used Hoppes #9 before hand to see if that would break up the plastic.
rudelsg2,
The brass blanks had no Lacquer on them. When I first got it I fired approximately 150+ rounds thru it without a single malfunction. Something had to have happend during the use of the blanks. Also, thanks for correcting me on where it was manufactured.
Guess she's going to gun doctor. Thanks guys for your help. I will keep you advised of what he finds out.

Hopefully it's something simple. Having read a few post about IAI carbines your round count seems to be about right for malfunction time for that model. Again, not trying to be a butt or know it all with info snippits, but Israel generally gets the undeserved "credit" for this gun.
Not trying to slagg off on your carbine, but I generally stay away from anything not USGI when it comes to M1 carbines. Most of the civvy ones were made of questionable parts and there has been quite a few serious failures with bolts and receivers due to the poor quality of parts and assembly used in their make up.
