I posted a couple of weeks ago about a feed problem I am having with my 1991A1. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=164054 I incorrectly identified this as a "nose up" jam. I guess I've just been clearing it for so long I quit looking. Anyway, I'm back and I have pictures to help describe the problem. In every case, the rounds you see are live. The spent brass seems to eject fine and for the most part heads in the 4 o'clock direction. Occasionally the brass goes 1 o'clock and sometimes straight up. I've had this failure on every magazine I own. Yesterday I shot 84 rounds through the factory colt 7-rounders (new springs) and Mec-Gar 8 rounders (new factory replacements) without a hitch and then had 5 jams in the next 3 magazines. All of the jams yesterday were with Mec-Gar magazines. The load is 4.7 gr of titegroup under a 200gr LSWC in mixed brass. The gun has a new Wolff 17# recoil spring. Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.
