Which spring should I remove, front or rear?
-
I have only experienced this while loading with 4756. I grease the bottom of the shell plate and for the most part, it eliminates it. I verify charge and drop the bullet on the case before indexing when loading 4756 in my 38 supercomp cases. This seems to serve the same purpose as covering it with my finger and I only need to bring my left hand to the press once, saving time over a loading session. I have not experienced powder on the plate while loading other calibers or powders.

Stand by for testing. I thought I could get to the range today, but will be unable. Shooting for Thursday afternoon. I will post further details then

Thanks guys this is what I ended up with
+1 on the Camerons mount.
I use it and love it. I have even added grip tape to the rear of the vertical and it make a perfect thumb rest! Going from Open to Limited isn't quite as big of an adjustment as it is with the vertical c-more mounts IMHO -
Hello: Since nobody else suggested it I will. I call it the urban tactical look. Black tactical is so last year
At least these shorts match. Thanks, EricSTYLIN!!!!

My suggestion is the DAA Racemaster.
Second that one!
+1
+2. Although you will not beat $69 for a Ghost Holster IMHO. I currently run a Ghost (which is a very secure and safe race holster, BTW), but will be changing to the DAA as soon as I can spare a few extra for it.

Load an empty case.....remove the mag.......pull slide back slow.......does the case stay snug under the extractor?
If not you have too little tension. You should be able to shake the gun around or have someone tap it in this condition and have the case stay put.
Also if the hook is not square (looses tension the higher the case is) that would be another cause.
I will give this a try!

I would still give the ammo some attention as a possible problem. You started a thread recently about blowing a case head this might be a clue to a possible ammunition problem.
I was thinking the same thing as well but I'm pretty sure the ammo is fine, I case gauge every piece regardless. That's the frustrating thing about this. The gun ran fine last weekend, I did nothing to it, and now this.
Frustrating!!! LOL!

I updated your title to include the location.

Try some factory ammo to take an ammo problem out of the equation. How tight does your extractor hold the case on the breechface?
Can't do factory. It's an open gun running 38 SC. Loaded round is held "firmly" against breechface. When I cycle a live round slowly, it turns and drops out the ejection port. That is what is making me lean towards a mag issue
Have you measured the feed lip dimensions?
I have. They are .356 at the rear and .357 at the front
-
Holy crap, what caliber was that, and how many times was that case loaded?
It is 38 SC and the brass is out of my practice stock. Loaded probably 4 times. I will keep them around for practice until the primers fall out easily

Pretty cool skill builder! Makes your weakness show like a laser beam (weak hand weak hand weak hand)!!! I got 56.35

Clean extractor tunnel and new Aftec springs would be the first thing I would try. Might want to go ahead and order a new extractor never hurts to have a spare that works.
I changed the Aftec springs at the range and it worked for 12 shots out of one mag and then it did it again. For what its worth, I tried to duplicate it here at the house with a spend case. If I drop an empty case in and just pop the extractor over it, it skips over the rim and leaves the case in the chamber. If I drop the slide, it picks it up. Don't know if that means anything. It will extract an unfired case with no issues no matter what.
-
Did you pull the extractor out and inspect it? I had an AFTEC in an Edge and it started to have failures to extract. Eventually it wouldnt extract at all. Pulled it out and it was cracked by the hook area.
I can post photos if needed, but the extractor looks fine to me
-
DId it happen when the mags were full? or all the time with them?
It happened the first couple rounds in on each magazine, then every 4th or 5th round till I decided to end the futility
-
OK,
I want to pick everyone's brain! I had a jammomatic open gun at out local match today, and would like some input as to what you all think might be the issue is. What is happening is the spent case is coming 1/2 out of the chamber and slipping off the extractor (Aftec). My first thought is the extractor is too loose. Opinons?
Until today, this happened 3 times before in the last 1000 rounds fired. Today, I could fire no more than 4 in a row before it jammed
I am also thinking it could be a mag issue, but it did it with every one of my mags, so I'm not sure on that one (ask me how I found that out
)I have attached a photo of one of the jams
Thanks all!

I learned the hard way to make sure my once fired and practice brass do not get mixed up. I had a case separate in the chamber leaving a "ring", part brass, part jacket. This kept the gun from going into battery. The result of this happening 14 rounds in to a 32 round stage???? ZERO on a 160 point stage at a major match.
Wow, that is enough to ruin your day! I wonder why it is that kind of thing never happens during a live fire practice session.
How did you recover, and run, on the next stage?
Well after I got over being mad about the zero, I brought out the backup gun and proceeded to lay down a top 10 run on the next stage. That says alot about investing in a backup if you are going to be traveling to OOT matches. I was able to put the gun away and not have to think about it, at least until they posted scores

Can anyone out there recommend someone to tune my 38 SC mags? I contacted Freedom, but Bobby said they aren't doing mags right now. Any ifo would be great
Thanks

The packaging will FOR SURE become a permanent part of my workshop!

Here are some more photos. These things are sooooooooooo cool!!!!
Thanks VegasOPM for the cool collectable!
