M1 Garand ejecting clip early

[CINDERS]

The case in front Rt of the camera has a large dent near the shoulder is this normal for a round ejected from this type of weapon excuse my ignorance as we are not allowed to own that type of weapon.TIA

You mean the spent round sitting on top of the cloth case? I believe that is actually an illusion. None of the cases I picked up had any dents in them. It seem to extract fine. I think the "dent" is light reflecting off of the tapered neck.

Yes, casings get dented from this rifle at times. Not to worry, the military doesn't worry about empty condition, they just salvage it out anyway.
