While shooting my M1 yesterday the operating rod came loose from the bolt twice while firing 48 rounds. Do I have a worn bolt,operating rod,both or something else?

You may have a worn tab on your op-rod and when rounded on the corners it jumps out of track.

 

Here is a photo, but the lower measurment is incorrect should read .095 and not .995 that would be close to an inch wide.

Thanks for your reply. One of the corners does look pretty worn and the rod also looks kinda bent.
