Its not a issue with good Mil Spec ammo

If the ammunition used is GI, made for the M1, or loaded to GI specs, including primer hardness, slamfires should be no problem.
I suppose there are exceptions to every rule.

My "new to me" DCM Garand went grenade on the first trip out, using issue LC69 in a match back in the mid 80's. I had had a couple of "doubles" in the rapid fire strings, and I thouhgt since the gun was new, it was just me and not the gun. After things went south, and my brass was recovered later, those that had doubled, had obviously fired out of battery, as the necks were blown out. Lucky for me, the one that cut loose, was during the slow fire string, and I was single loading.
