Something different, a 20" Garand and YOU BE THE GUNSMITH.

No big deal but first 20" Garand I've done. Now, the rifle would not run right to begin with. I would get misfeeds starting at round 3 on. The rounds would poke up at the sky about noon on the chamber face. I would look in the mag well and see rounds back, forward, every time I fired the rifle.

What did I do to fix this?

I know what you did. First you denied that it ever happened. Then you said that maybe it happened, but you couldn't say with "certaintude". Then you admitted that it happened and begged the customer for forgiveness.

you didn't specify the caliber!

Ah Stuey, it's .308/7.62 Nato.

Were you using a magazine for 30-06 instead of 308 ?

Thanks, When Tim mentioned mag well, I thought the rifle was one of his magazine experiments.

Was the op rod spring cut when the barrel was shortened?

I don't know, buy I have the same bench legs.
