center feed problem

[308]

I have a new in box model 14 with a detachable magazine. When cycling the bolt forward, about every fourth round pops out of the ejection port. The bolt engages the rear of the cartridge and pushes forward as expected. But, once the cartridge clears the lip of the magazine it pops out of the ejection port. Usually its just the rear of the cartridge that pops out. This has happened with several kinds of factory loads. Thanks for the help.

first when full loaded? random order? center feed? stagger feed?

center feed, staggered stack, detachable magazine. Feeding problem seems to occur randomly.

Correction to that last post. It's always that second to last cartridge to leave the magazine. You can see that this cartridge pops out before going forward far enough to enter the chamber. All of the other cartridges slide forward in the magazine, and then come out and feed smoothly into the chamber. Thanks!

Hi,

I had this same problem on my Model 11. I ended up just squeezing the feed lips in a little tighter and the problem hasn't reappeared. Give this a try, I hope it helps!
