Keola5o4 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Ok so far: polished and rounded the edge of the extractor, polished the bolt face, polished the sharp edges around the barrel face, and retuned most of my mags. I cycled every thing by hand and every thing in falling into place smoothly. Now for some range time to really make sure everything's good Ps: also gonna seat the ammo alittle deeper hopefully my power factor remains the same Edited April 27, 2016 by Keola5o4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Does it feed without the extractor installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keola5o4 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 @Hl5-0 I took everything off and tried it, yes it feeds with out the extractor installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 @Hl5-0 I took everything off and tried it, yes it feeds with out the extractor installedyou're getting close to figuring it out! Just be careful and dont go crazy with the extractor and a file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace38super Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Don't try to set the mag lips on an old style SVI to STI specs, they are much different. The SVI lips look different and are set to a opening much like your picture. STI runs in that .355 area. I have seen perfectly good SV mags wrecked by trying to bend the lips.

Keola5o4 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 @ ace38super thanks for catching me before I bent them too far, I haven't gotten home yet to fool with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 @Hl5-0 I took everything off and tried it, yes it feeds with out the extractor installed Put more of a bevel on the corners of the firing pin stop where it mates with the extractor. It, the extractor, has to be able to pivot a little more on the fp stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keola5o4 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 @ racegun9 & Hl5-O, rounded the fire pin stop already. Another one checked off the list. Now just gotta wait til the rain to pass so I can get to my local out door range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0s3ph Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I may be a little late on this, but do you run an extended ejector? If so, bevel the bottom so it does not touch a round with a loaded mag (slide and barrel removed of course). When I did that, my FTF issues went away. But looks like you've solved your issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I had the feed issue from hell once, but it was one every 500 or so. I finally went with Round nose bullets instead of the JHP, this cured it. After abut 20,000 rounds fed without any issues I switched back to JHP. I've shot with people that are yanking on their slide racker 3 or 4 times a match and when I asked what they were doing about the feed issue they looked at me like I just fell out of a UFO.

EkuJustice Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Ya I run round nose for best reliability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keola5o4 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I tryed running 124 gr zeros round nose those gave me the most problems "the gun hates it" I switched to 124 precisions delta hollow points and besides the slide hangs ups I had really didn't have much of a issue. Ran through area1 without a problem "well...one problem it was more personal hahaha!" Edited June 9, 2016 by Keola5o4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimms Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You probably fixed your issue by seating bullets alittle deeper. FN bullets due to their different ogive shape and relatively sharp radius at the edge may bounce violently off the ramp if slide velocity is high enough. I got this when I tried to load longest OAL I could get away with, coated 147 minor loads. Seated a bit deeper and problem was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
