My Garand doesn't cycle, and I think its the gas tube

Problem solved. Lame ammo. Lake City and Twin Cities cycles just fine with any brand clip. The lame stuff doesnt work with any clip. Head stamp is weird, cant find it listed, pic is attached. I guess thats reallocated to my Springfield

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I don't think so, here's Ethiopian... Maybe Syrian, Egyptian?

It's actually Iranian. Made in (19)44, as you can tell (you can tell, can't you?

) from the 44 in Farsi lettering at the bottom - At the top there is a crown to give the orientation.

No joke! You can find it on MUNICION.ORG if you look through the dozens of 30-06 headstamps.

Almost certainly that krap ammo has corrosive primers. MAKE SURE you detail clean the rifle for corrosive ammo or you could regret it.

I don't know what's the problem is "but Bolt is not stripping a fresh round" i think your problem is the clip..
