Great Day Horrible day

I went out and fired three clips of rounds through it from 2 different en-bloc's and all three times the first 5 rounds were perfect but when the 6th fired it also ejected the 7th with it unfired ,right out of the rife on 2 times and the third it was caught by the bolt pointing straight up so i checked the barrel and no blockages but of course empty chamber so had to recycle to load the 8th and it fired and ejected its brass and the en-bloc, anyone have any idea what on earth would cause this??? I did notice the op rod spring in it is approx 20.6 inches uncompressed and fired American eagle 150 gr FMJ M1 specific rounds

Replace the clip latch spring.

you think it might be the spring is too weak and the clip is moving?
