i just recently put a new barrel on my Springfield M1 Garand and was breaking it in when i noticed this. as i was shooting it it would spit the clip with a few shells still left in it half way out and the bolt would pinch it so it would not "PING!" all the way out of the clip housing. it usualy only does this when im pulling the trigger as fast as i can but ocasionaly does this on slow fire too. it did it a few time befor i put the new barrel on but not as frequently. what would be the cause of this and what parts do i need to order?
 
When the enbloc prematurely ejects 99% of the time its the clip latch spring.
Remove old spring and stretch it, replace spring and fire again. If everything works as it should install a replacement spring.

It sounds as though you have a timing issue and may have other worn parts
 
A bit off topic: but... when I read the subject I was like "isn't the Garand supposed to spit out the clip? This I have to read!" Then it was a real problem.
