Mike (aka Bloke on the Range) has rather a lot of content on why Garand Ping! is not a thing. Some of which is hilarious for the fudd counter-reaction.
He makes an interesting argument that the Garand does not have "primary extraction" in that initial bolt rotation on unlock.
Mike is an industrial engineer, so, I believe I understand his "why" on that.
I believe, the issue is that the bolt can simply rotate around a stuck case, that, until the sloped camming surface actually starts driving the bolt backwards, that there is no displacement force on a stuck casing.
So, it's a fine engineering point. Ok, if the extractor claw "gripped" the case head, that might force the case to rotate. And, given the set of tolerances involved (a long list, claw slot tolerance, case diameter tolerance and thermal dimension recovery, and chamber dimensions, just to start) the case might actually twist in the chamber using M2 ball. Just not a good way to measure that in real life.
But, the fact that Garand thought about this as a feature, as something needful for the 7x51 (which was running about where a modern .280 does) is pretty fascinating.
To muddy the waters on the Mannlicher en bloc clips, Pedersen's toggle-locked design used them as well (if in a sub-ideal asymmetric form). The second iteration had a number of revisions, and a symmetrical en bloc was one of those. The third and last version actually used the Garand style (as we would recognise them today).
One of the other things few realize about the humble M-1 is that is was in service from 1936 until 1959, 23 years. 7.62nato versions were still in front line service until 1965.
