During firing, the op rod is thrown backwards to unlock the bolt. Does the square block on the underside of the rod hit the receiver, or does it stop just short of the receiver? Mine is stopping about an 1/8 inch short of the receiver. No, it's not a real M1, it's an IAI made in Houston, Texas. I got it at a good price, along with 9 mags, bayonet, 500 rounds of ammo, and some pouches
When fired, the bolt will stick in the open position, and take a sharp hit from my hand to go forward again. Not every time, but probably 3 out of 4. It's the only M1 I have, so I can't compare.
