Recoil spring going south,
or, You need to clean the burs off the end hook, and grease it to allow the spring tension to be fully transfered to the follower. |

Is the bolt getting all the way behind the cartridge?

Good question. A couple of times the bolt closed over the top of the round, but friction must have moved the round forward because it tried to jam and the bolt was difficult to open. I was thinking the round wasn't high enough but short-stroking could have done it too... |

Are you using good quality mil-spec ammo?
For short stroke check: Bolt or op-rod binding Rifle properly greased (M1s need a lot of grease compared to many other rifles) gas port not blocked or occluded Op-rod piston diameter Gas cyl not loose on barrel Gas cyl screw tight and valve not leaking Diameter just aft of threads of gas cyl |

I'm betting you have bolt issues. Don't mess with it send it to Tanks Rifle Shop.
