Why does my M1 Garand fire a few round at a time?

My M1A only does this from a bench when I don't consentrate on holding the trigger to the rear. Mine has had some trigger work also

One of my shooter M1's had a problem with doubling the first time I took it to the range. I swapped triggers with one from my spare parts and cured the problem.
