Tino2212 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) I have a question abouth a tanfoglio , we put a comped barrel in my friends Tanfoglio . And now he has lots of failures to extract , slide goes back and leaves emty case in chamber . looks almost like he pulls the extractor true the rim of the case , but case stays in the chamber . Slide goes back and strips a new round from the mag and jams because he can not chamber this one because the empty case is stil in the chamber . when we put the " normal " barrel back in the gun it works great again , what can be the reason for this ? Does the barrel needs fitting just like a 1911 barrel or are tanfo barrels drop in ? Hope someone here can lead us in the right direction .

kneelingatlas Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 It sounds like a chamber problem, how hard is it to get the cases out? Did you plunk test them before firing? Is the extractor marking the brass on it's way out? Which caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino2212 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) If we put the empty case back in ( the one that did not extract ) it falls just out if you turn the barrel up side down . All rounds pass the plunk test . the ectractor is marking the brass heavily ( big groove in the rim ) looks like the extractor hook is almost pulled trough the rim . the stange thing is the gun can also shoot 50 / 60 rounds without problems and then starts having problems jamming 2 / 3 times within 15/20 rounds . it is a 9 mm running minor PF loads .

ryridesmotox Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 What brass are you using? I have been having a problem with Winchester brass... My buddy has a bunch of starline... Worked fine when I was using his hand loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino2212 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Mixed brass but also tried batches of one headstamp brass ( cbc / s&b / geco ) Also his ammo runs great in my gun as wel as in his gun with the non comped barrel we use the same ammo made on my Rl 550 .

pyrrhic3gun Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Can we get a picture of the brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino2212 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Do not have a picture of the brass right now , but you can see that the extractor almost pulled a part of the rim . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Polish the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino2212 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 We have tought about this but is there something else we can look at ? does the barrel hood of a tanfo barrel need fitting ( like a 1911 ) or is it drop in ? It seems to lock in fine but can if be a little to long so the barrel is not canting quick enough when unlocking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
