Garand Bolt issue

[stcstc]

Did it work before you started having this problem? If so you could have a problem with your clip latch and/or op rod catch.

I now recall you have a deactivated M1, the parts used in it may be cast-offs or out-of-spec, regardless someone will have a solution.

Like Jim says, a picture would assist.

The bolt goes all the way back and then forward nearly half way over the follower.
Sarge1998, this is a different Garand from that mentioned on my other post. Has always been like this since I bought it.
Will get a photo on soon.
