M1A Problem - Locked Back Bolt Goes Into Battery Un-Expectedly

Hey M1A people

I have an M1A Standard Loaded with a synthetic stock.

When my bolt is locked back and I tap the butt of the stock on the ground, the bolt snaps into battery.

This happens when:

There is no mag in the well
There is a mag in the well with a round in it (very dangerous)

It does not happen when there is an empty mag in the well.

Anyone else having this potentially dangerous problem?
