Though as I understand, that tends to only happen when you're cleaning the rifle.

Thanks again for going the extra mile, much obliged.
May I suggest not using a M1 Garand for deer, unless you use hard primers, on soft or hollow point ammo --- Because of the chance of a slam fire, especially by sending the bolt into battery fast enough, while using single shot and not a full or partially loaded magazine.
