I had the exact same experience shooting the CMP short course with a surplus Inland the way he did when he only got a bronze, which is to say multiple failures to feed during the rapid fire string. I still managed to place 2nd overall out of 22 shooters in spite of the malfs, just managing to get all my rounds downrange before the targets turned. Oh, and I was the only one not shooting a Garand!
As I stated, I swapped out every spring in the 60 year old gun AND magazines with current production Wollf springs and never suffered another malf again. Problem solved. I simply wouldn't purchase a reproduction carbine, period.
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
