I am no real firearms expert, but in my town some think I am an expert, and I was brought a M-1 Garand to have me look at it to see whats "wrong" with it. The owner says the action doesn't "cycle" right. He says he fires one round and the bolt stays shut after it fires. The owner says he expects the bolt to remain open after the shot so he can insert another live round.
I only know these rifles were designed to be used with an enbloc clip, eight rounds at a time, but I have no experience with the M-1, I don't know if there is a malfuntion or not. No one here has a clip. Can the M-1 be fired as a single-shot without a clip? Is the bolt supposed to remain open on the last shot without a clip?
This rifle appears in almost new condition with at least one or more refurbishments--its a Springfield Armory model, in GI condition with a canvas looking sling. It looks like new to me.
