My CMP M1, a Springfield all correct April 1944, was just disassembled by me after a range session. I do not plan to shoot it for a while that is why I took it down to clean it completely.
The problem is that once I got it back together...the en bloc clips WILL NOT snap into place all the time. When they do get in with a full load of 8 dummy rounds and snap in, then cycled 8 times, once the last round gets ejected, the clip just goes "Cling" and jumps about 1/4 inch and remains inside the receiver.
However when I load an empty clip in close the bolt and then rack the operating rod the clip will eject completely out tof the receiver.
What could this be??? The main thing is that why would the clip only snap in some of the time..otherwise the clip will not lock in place in the reciever. Then the above other problems take place.
Could I have damaged the ejector spring during re-sassembly???
Help..!!!
