M1A Anniversay rifle

[colonelgofish]

I bought a new M1A Anniversay edition. When I put a mag in I can’t get it to cycle. Also the safety does not engage. Any thoughts out there?

Empty mag or loaded mag?
Does the safety engage with a mag in or without a mag in?

Lastly, did you read the manual that comes with every M1A ?

It IS an actual Springfield M1A, and not a copy?

Has it been carefully cleaned?
