are you assuming he was a Trump supporter?

maybe his agenda had nothing to do with the trial; he just took advantage of the media presence.

I read every post here and saw nothing the makes your post make sense.

Who assumed he was a Trump supporter?

I don't know what the political persuasion was... but you took the position of 'it might have nothing to do with anything'... that's the ignorance they are looking for.

Prepare accordingly.

you created a thread entitled "kook on fire - Trump Trial Circus Begins".

why exactly did he do it? surely you must have a coherent theory, based on evidence.

and going forward if you use quotations please be so good as to actually use a quote, not a paraphrase that twists the meaning.

I know what it is. Hint: it's not a firearm, CSA posted it in the .net forum.

I assume from the construction it is some type of antique air rifle, but I'd still like to know what it is, and how it is charged.

I would field strip the Garand and replace the op rod spring with one from GarandGear or Orion7 (same spring from both vendors). Thoroughly clean and grease it and try again. Don't use too much grease, if you can see it, it's too much.

What enbloc clips are you using? Some are known to have problems.

They are both stamped "CMP 3"

The thing is, the first 16 rounds that were pre loaded by the seller all fired without incident. Is it possible I messed something up when I loaded the rounds into the clip and then the clip into the rifle?

the CMP clips are for sure the ones the seller pre-loaded? they have a mixed reputation.

when loading clips, I put 7 cartridges in and then rock them up and down while pushing them in to fully seat. the case heads should be touching the rearmost part of the clip. and I always arrange so the top round is on the right.

Hello gentlemen, I was going to wait for them to get .net up and running to ask this but it's seems like it might not happen soon. Soooo onto my question/problem

I just bought a Garand and took it out shooting yesterday. The first two clips that were pre loaded from the seller shot fine. It seemed like it was a bigger struggle to push the clip down into the rifle compared to all the YouTube videos I've seen, not sure if I should be concerned about that?

But the main thing is, after I loaded the clips with my ammo (ppv for the M1)  the rifle was no longer charging the rounds. It would fire and eject, but would not load up the next round. I had to manually charge it after almost every single round. Can anyone give me some info on what might be wrong? Did I load the rounds into the clip incorrectly? It was a bittersweet day since I've always longed for a Garand and found a good one with all Springfield parts, but it not firing right was sad indeed 

almost impossible to diagnose without more info.

-you disassembled, cleaned and lubed the rifle properly? google this

-you're using USGI clips?

M67 is premium cartridge. Corrosive is minor deal in AK or SKS mostly chrome lined just need a quick water rinse

What does this mean: "premium cartridge"?

Yugoslavian M67 is brass case and non-magnetic. this is why people call it "premium"

Greetings to all who managed to find the lifeboat.

I have a serious concern.

when this site and .Net are suddenly closed by .gov because of ITAR violations, what are we going to do?
