I just bought a new-to-me M1, and I have run into a problem. I have greased all the recommended points, and checked the rifle to the best of my ability. But here is the issue;
I can feed single rounds into the chamber, and they eject flawlessly.
If I put in a loaded enbloc clip (I tried 7 rounds too, just to make sure) it will not eject the fired case. Although sometimes it will, but 9 out of 10 times it won't.
I *think* the problem is the operating rod spring, but I am not certain. To put an enbloc clip into the magazine takes a lot of effort on my part...
I'm sure someone has run into a problem like this before.
Thanks in advance.Information
