So im sending the gun back to ruger to fix. here is what i typed in the description of problem. I'll update this when i get the gun back.
The gun is 3-Point Jamming ( Failure to Return To Battery ) quite often about once every magazine 70% of the time on the first 2-3 out of magazine, but has done it at all mag levels. It does it from slide drop and while shooting. It locks up pretty good and leaves a dent about 1/8” from case mouth on every jammed round. If it does not jam on slide drop from slide release you can feel it contact something on the way to the chamber which is a rough feeling along with a good hesitation.
I have tried 3 different brands of ammo, the first is Winchester 230 grain FMJ, the second Ultramax 230 Gr. Round nose Lead( my most common ), third is a few mags of Armscor 230 gr. FMJ from a friend. It jammed the worst on the Winchester ammo but jams with all types tried.
The gun is around 500-600 Rounds shot now with cleanings average of every 50 rounds. The cleaning depends on round count at shoots.
I have tried the different ammo above and Ruger factory mag along with a few Chip McCormick mags and Wilson combat mags ( 47D’s ), cannot tell a difference as they all jam the same.
I am sending the gun dirty as it almost always jams on every mag after about 30-50 rounds. It has had about 50 though it now.
I suspect it is “ riding the link” and also needs some feed ramp work. Also if you have time or it can be covered I would like you to look at the barrel as it is one of the roughest I have seen and leads up quite quickly. I have slugged it and the bore diameter is good .451-.4515. I know its stainless and it machines hard. But take a look and see if it is up to your standards. Don’t hesitate to give me a call with any questions, I understand things happen and I’m a huge Ruger fan so you will not get any negative reaction from me.
Thanks,
*******
