Premature ejection

[kokanee king]

I have an M1 Garand that I purchased off of here awhile back and since ive had it ive only run reloads through it. I am using 49.1grs of IMR4895 powder behind a 150gr bullet. My problem isnt on cycling but more so the enbloc is trying to eject after the 3rd or 4th round. Do enblocs get worn out or is this a job for a smithy to fix?

Probably a worn/compressed clip latch spring. I usually just stretch them out.

Same thing was happening to my Garand when I first got it. I ordered a new clip latch and clip latch spring from Marstar. Problem solved.

A weak clip latch spring is one possible cause. Yes, the detents in the en-bloc clips do become worn. Try with new/unworn clips. Other possible causes incl a worn clip latch, bent follower rod, worn follower rod forks, worn op rod catch, a worn follower arm, and interference between the follower rod and op rod catch.

I'd try some unworn en-blocs first.

Thanks guys. I will go through my enblocs to see if there are any more worn out then the other. I may just order a new latch and spring anyways or at least stretch the one i have.

Strange I bet you weren't the first one to think that.
