MickB Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Which model? Tactical (22") or Field (26")? Did the gun function reliably beofre, or never has since you got it? Check your firing pin retaining pin hasn't walked and is rubbing on the inside of the receiver, slowing down the bolt. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Bacus Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Versa max will not feed next shell or bolt doed not close completely with factory ammo. Anybody else has this problem and how did u correct What brand and load of ammo? Have you tried different loads? Which model of Versa Max? Stock, or has it been modified? If modified what mods were done? The more info you share the better the answer we can give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field 26 inch. My suspicion is your suggestion about the firing pin retaining pin rubbing on receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benellibuilder Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We (Triangle Shooting Sports) always put a little radius and smooth up the sharp edge of the extractor cut of the barrel to help with feeding issues. Shells like to bite and jam due to that sharp edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benellibuilder Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You may want to make sure you have the proper magazine spring length. Too much or too little spring will cause feed problems too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
