can anyone tell me why my m-16 and m-1 garand fail to eject spent cases completely? all ammo is military fmj ball. fired cases remain held by the extractor and sometimes reinserted into the chamber or the case mouth butts up against outer right edge of the chamber . the ejector (plunger) spring tension seems ok. unfired rounds cycle thru the action smoothly and eject ok. all mainsprings are untouched and appear to be ok. but fire the guns and u have a single shot straight-pull magazine fed military classic. all clips & mags are new. the gas systems of all guns have been thoroughly cleaned of residue with no traces of oil/burnt powder to gum up the works.
the m-16 is the later issue with heavily ribbed front handguard.
my garand is a springfield armoury issue of ww-2 vintage minus the wooden forend that covers the rear of the gas cylinder and operating rod.
will greatly appreciate expert (and frustration/ammo saving) advice on the aforesaid from anyone-please!
