I have 43' Springfield that will eject a full En Bloc after the first shot. Any suggestions?

I believe there's a clip latch spring that is usually at fault in cases like these. Fortunately they're cheap to replace. I'm at work and can't access my files...

Go with the spring.I don't think there is much that can go wrong with a clip latch itself . To find the correct round nose style that matches in color would be difficult.I have worked on a lot of Garands and have never seen a bad clip latch except in the parts bins of some shady dealers at gun shows.
