Hello everyone. I have a recently purchased Garandicon I am having some trouble with.

I have had a smith look at it and he said it looked good to go. The op rod spring wasn't in great condition but he said give it a try and see if I needed a new one. I took it out last weekend and it had the same problem it does now. In the interim I replaced the spring with a brand new one. I can feel the increased tension on the slide so I'm pretty sure it did need one, but it has not solved the problem. The rifle attempts to eject the clip as if it were empty. It does not do this on any particular round but it seems to vary between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th with no discernible reason. I do not think it is the gas cylinder because the smith has taken a look at it, but I guess it is possible it needs more adjusting.

I took some video of the exact malfunction.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
