[QUOTE="Gmac, post: 2517765, member: 94717"] Make sure when you charge the first round you’re not riding the charging handle home. Let that thing slam shut. I would definitely check the mages and make sure they seat correctly, present the round correctly and work well with the ammo you’re using. Some longer rounds can end up too low in the magazine and contact the front edge - some people modify the lips to raise the round and may lower the leading edge of the mag. Also pay attention to see if the failure is happening when the 1st round in the mag is staggered to the right or left. I would also check the barrel extension ramps to ensure they were cut correctly as well as how they align with the receiver. If the receiver overhangs the barrel extension ramps they can hang up there and cause feeding issues. If poor alignment - address the extension ramps rather than the receiver. Also short nosed hollow points may also have some feeding issues if the ramps aren’t right. [/QUOTE]
