Just for comparison...no mods to my rifle using milsurp and commercial ammo....The M1 ejects somewhat violently. . . where somewhat means obscenely.
I quite enjoy having a Schuster Adjustable Gas Plug. While it's advertised to let you safely run non-M1 commercial ammo without damage, that's not what I do with it; I run low-end M1 spec ammo, and open the plug to relax the ejection cycle. This results in way less brass damage, gentler cycling, less wear and tear, and less brass in the next zip code. I'm probably missing out on a more authentic experience, but this rifle is twice my age so I'm ok being gentle on it.
7 rounds eject forward to about 1 o'clock. the 8th goes back around 4-5 o'clock
If your garand is beating your brass up there is something going on with your rifle....listen to it...
