OK. I only used two clips, that could be the problem. Clips were unmarked , unless marked on the inside. That's the 8 th round eject problem. I ordered a new op rod spring and a couple of latch springs from Orion 7. The problem should be fixed soon. Gonna have another one of Scott Duffs books soon too. Not giving up on the "Greatest battle implement ever devised" over a tiny problem like this.

If you buy one of Scott Duff's books on the M1, you won't have any more questions. It's an excellent source and you'll need it again... http://www.scott-duff.com/DuffBooks.htm

The red cover.

The red cover one? With the history up to the end of WWII? I have that one. I didn't see a troubleshooting section in that one. OK I'll check it again. Thanks.
