Factory DBM will not feed the last round

[mnbogboy2]

The biggest culprit I have found with the bottom failure to feed was dirt/grit on the ammo or in the magazine. The cases do not like to slide up when things are dirty the follower spring doesn't have the snort to push them up. Reloading that spring with a spacer may just be plenty to finish the last push up.

Mag is clean, I keep my guns spotless, same with the ammo.
I will look around and see if I can find something thin to make a spacer out of and give that a try.

If you just want to test the idea, just cut a few pieces of cardboard to use. This will at least verify what I’m thinking. Then if it works, you can sort out something clean. Piece of hard polymer or aluminum sheet.

Can the spring be stretched slightly without loosing its temper?

[Dave Hoback]

That would work also. Unfortunately it’s only a temp fix, as the spring will collapse with some use.

Thank you Dave.
Jeeps and g's, you need a new follower spring.

It is supposed to rain this weekend, and I have a handfull of dummy rounds I made for action testing, so I should be able to fool around with it this weekend.
I'll try some cardboard and see what that does. If it helps, I will look into a new spring.
