Greetings,
I just picked up another Garandicon and am having several issues with it, any help would be appreciated. I am not super familiar with Garands so anything would be informative. It is a Springfield Armory.

1) Very hard to load - It is very difficult to get the enblock clip all the way down and when I do get it down it is usually still not far enough down for the bold to strip off the first round and go over the second round - i.e. the bolt will not close.
2) Light strikes, will not fire 1/2 the time. - Am getting failure to fire about 1/2 the time.
3) Failure to reset trigger - when it does fire it will cycle and load the next round, but the trigger is not reset. I pull the trigger and nothing happens. Cycle manually and then it will fire. Happens about every other time. The first time I did fire it it doubled (fired twice in succession), but then did this about every other round.

Don't know if these are 3 separate problems or somehow connected...

Thanks!
