Hey guys, I have a pair of Stock 2's that are experiencing various different issues, I am looking for some advice on getting this stuff fixed.
The first can be seen in the picture, the nose of the round jammed into the top of the barrel. What is the common cause of this? I suspect its the mag spring or feed lips on yhe mag spread apart. This gun has a brand new 10lbs recoil spring and the ammo is Federal American Eagle 147gr, its hot like 145 pf so it should be cycling the slide fully.
The second gun has a issue with Stovepipes and the occasional FTE where the case stays half way in the chamber. I tried a new 9 marked extractor and oem spring and the issue got much worse to the tune of 10 fte's in 100 rounds. Then I polished the old extractor and put in a extra power spring with 1 coil cut off, that combo has stovepiped 3 times in the last 500 rounds including 2 at the bluegrass match last weekend. The ejector looks good and the recoil spring is a new 10lbs.
One other thing I have noticed is if the look close at the pic the top of the barrel is starting to get peened over a bit more than I think it should be for 20k rounds, it that normal? The gun that likes to stovepipe has this aswell but worse.
