Hmm...I had a similar problem, that spent clips weren't ejected.
I also had a problem of short cycling, so I replaced the OPROD spring. The old spring was about two inches longer than the replacement spring I got, is that normal for an OPROD spring to grow over the lifecycle?
I put an empty clip into the magazine, and a hearty pull to the rear with the charging handle sent it out, but it didn't seem to eject very far, only a few inches above the receiver instead of what I would expect from a Garand. Although I'm sure my hand doesn't operate the weapon as fiercely as a 30-06 round does.
So how would you go about determining which parts are worn causing weak ejection?
