I'm a new M1 owner, picked one up about 2 months ago, so please forgive me if this has already been answered on THR.
I was out shooting my M1 today, I'd just replaced the sights with MN form Fulton Arms; wanted to make sure I was still on paper. After I'd shot a number of single shots, I decided to load up with some 8 rounds clips, using Greek HXP 77' and HXP 78'. After about 3 or 4 rounds the clip would auto-eject from the rifle, I tried everything I could think of and couldn't get it to stop.
The rifle had never done this in the past 200+ rounds using LC CMP ammo, however today it even did it with LC ammo. I'd just cleaned and lubed the rifle; using the little yellow pots of grease. I don't think I got lube on any of the wrong places, but I'm not sure.
Is there a way to put too much lube on the M1 and have it early eject clips, or is there something else wrong?
I've ordered a Heavy Duty Clip Latch Spring, and Bullet Guide, from Fulton tonight, but not sure if it's just over lubing. :banghead:
Thanks,
Denis
