brought the m1 garand to the range the other day, and for some strange reason..it kept on shooting only in "bolt action". I have no clue what the problem maybe. Its not a cmp grade, i would say its better then a rack grade though. Could it be the op rod? or something with the gas system. experts or anyone who knows about m1 garand please id like to hear your advice. If it is a problem i can fix myself then ill be very happy. I shoot one round, then pull the trigger and all i hear is "click". I rack the charging handle again and it shoots fine. Hmm..

thanks
