Great Day Horrible day

If you strip the wood off you rifle and check out the relation of parts to one another. From the side you will see the op rod's bend is critical to function. How would it work otherwise?

thanks to all who replied I do think mine is a little bent more than it should be but it does cycle. in fact possibly too well.also when i reassembled it this morning it did try the tilt test and it passed.
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?
