I have a problem with the first round being shot on my scout. Whenever I pull the trigger, it just clicks and nothing fires. I have to eject that round and it usually works fine again.

Anyone know of any reason why it's doing this?

Could be a hammer follow issue.  That's where the hammer doesn't go far enough back to catch the thing a ma bobber that keeps it cocked.  Or something keeps it from making it back far enough.  Sometimes it can be something strange or a little off on the inside of the stock.  You can do a search for hammer follow on the m1a and probably find some info.  I know there's a lot of info on the firing line (m14/m1a forum).  I'm no expert, I'm sure people who know more than me will chime in.  Good luck and happy shooting.
