M1 Clip Eject Problems

[mdrim13]

Hey Guys,

Finally got out today and shot my recent purchase M1. Its a Springfield 6-42. It shot great and grouped far better than expected but there was one problem...the clip would not eject itself. It was not a huge problem as I could simply eject it by pressing the button, but still something is not right if it does not eject itself right? I was using USGI clips. All clips were USGI but there was a mix of manufactures and age. I was shooting American Eagle M1 Ammo. I shot a bandolier through it and all 6 times it failed to eject. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Matt
