This is very common with the new ARMS18 mount. Probably not your op spring. I had the same issue with mine.

I found the rounds were catching the bottom of the mount and jammed. I went with a higher mount, a trijicon TA70 and problem solved. Another good mount would be the M14.ca CASM. Look at the bottom of your mount for brass marks.

Mine stovepiped exactly the same. I have heard the spring trim idea works. Treeline is a good place to buy but they are very slow.
armtac (sponsor) has springs.
wolff is not shipping to canada right now.
you can trim your existing spring too. the problem is that the ejection is too energetic, causing the spent case to bounce off the bottom of the scope mount and back into the breech. trimming the spring so it gets out, but without enough energy to bounce back in, is the goal. norks seem to have too-powerful springs for scope use.
if you don't have a bolt tool, you can do without. more of a PITA, of course. good instructions and pics at ht tp://m14forum.com/reference/39852-bolt-disassembly-rifle-no-bolt-tool.html. you do need a 30-06 casing, and patience.
