Though as I understand, that tends to only happen when you're cleaning the rifle.
Thanks again for going the extra mile, much obliged.
You can use any 30-06 ammunition in those enblocks. I use the flat nose soft points designed for a tube magazine in a lever action in mine to hunt deer and they function perfectly. The only problem with the Garand is modern ammunition verses surplus. It is designed originally to use the lower pressure surplus ammunition but it is not uncommon to use various after market gas plugs to adapt to various power levels of ammunition. I use the enlarged port gas plug from Garandgear.com in mine to shoot ALL types of ammunition with out damage to my rifles.
