I've had this rifle, which I bought used, for about 10 years and it has performed well with many many rounds fired through it. All of a sudden it's jamming almost every round with failures to feed. It doesn't lift the cartridge high enough up and the bolt slams into the bullet instead of the cartridge. This bends the bullet over and basically destroys it. I have two magazine, which I got with the gun and the problem occurs with both of them. I'm shooting Federal bulk ammo, which the rifle has always eaten with no problems before. I tend to think the springs in the magazines are worn out, but thought I'd ask the user knowledge base first. I do clean and lubricate the rifle after shooting, even just a few rounds.
