Clip Latch issues

Hello everyone,
I am having Clip Latch issues. My rifle was ejecting the clip prior to the last round being fired. I purchased a HD Spring and Latch from Fulton. However when I went to swap these out I noticed there is a considerable difference between the Original and the Fulton Latch. The original, though looking "beefier" it in no way looks like the Fulton in the area that hold the clip. I am attaching a picture so you all can see what I am looking at. If anyone knows which one is supposed to be correct I would be grateful for the info. For now I am leaning to the Fulton being in spec since I have had this issue pretty much from Day 1 of owning this rifle. Left in photo is Fulton part, right Original

All my clip latches look like the USGI one on the right.

Fulton part may be commercial piece. Since you purchased and installed a heavy duty spring and a clip latch you wont know which part was out of spec. Its usually the spring and not the clip latch. In all my years of messing with garands I have never come across a out of spec clip latch

Always stay with the USGI part-you cannot go wrong.
