Clip comes partially out with three to go?

[Sgt Striker]

Yes, sounds like a weak "clip latch" spring.

A weak spring might well be the cause; try 'stretching' the existing spring. If the problem goes away, replace the spring with a new one. (Fulton, at http://www.fulton-armory.com/ has a good one.)

You might want to check the notches on the clips that ejected with three aboard. Sometimes the clips get worn, and the latch doesn't properly match.
