I've had my Baby Eagle for about a month now and it's had consistent stove piping. I'd say once every 15 to 30 rounds or so, after I shoot, it will fire, eject the shell, then screw up trying to chamber the next round and it will get caught between the lip of the barrel and the top of the slide.
I originally dismissed it as "break in" issues, but after ~500 rounds, the problem is persisting.
My best guess is that the way the rounds sit in the magazine, anything after about 5 rounds deep or so, the front of the bullet 'floats' so that when the slide returns and pushes on the back to chamber it, the front end dips, catches the lip of the magazine, bounces off ending up too high to make it into the barrel, then gets caught.
Has anyone had these issues or know of any solutions? Should I just send it back to have it looked at? I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the magazine and not the gun itself because my buddy bought one the same time that I did and we're have the exact same problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
