    Do these require a break-in period? Took mine out first time today, about 50% of the time the gun would eject the spent case and the bolt would close but fail to feed the next round from the clip. Took two full boxes of American Eagle Garand ammo before I was able to get through a full clip without a hiccup. I was out of ammo at that point so I'm not sure if the issue is fully resolved. Is there a problem with my rifle?

    It looks like there is a break in period. Mine took about 100 rounds before it smoothed out and wore in. the first few clips took a manual racking to feed rounds. It gradually began to cycle reliably with an occasional first round hesitation to chamber a round. Runs like a champ now and am loving it!

    Mine does the same thing as well, have only put a couple of clips through it though.

    They will need few boxes of ammo to loosen up a bit. I also had to refit my stock a bit under the trigger guard as the hammer wasn't always catching the sear when fired.

    Also my rifle didn't come properly lubricated, some surfaces were completely dry that should have been greased. So you may want to disassemble the rifle and re-lube it.

    Welcome to the new price plateau for Garands.
    Jean Charest after coming a distant second to Pierre Poilievre. “You deserve a clean slate and the opportunity to unite the membership. ... Only Liberals benefit from a divided (Conservative Party).” Will the malcontents listen?

    Had this happen too. I found that of the too en-blocs, one fed well, the other cause the FTF. Try other en-blocks.
