I recently got my Series 70 (repro) back from a 15 month trip to Colt's custom shop. I took it to the range tonight for the first time, and it is a tack-driver, but.....
I shot about 100 rds using 3 different type mags - Kimber ( Kim-Pro?), SA and Colt - 2 of each. I had 1 failure to feed - Colt OEM mag. never picked up a rd.
My bigger problem is, I had about 8 or 9 failure to fully chamber the rds. I was using Federal 230 gr ball, WWB 230 gr ball, Winchester Supreme JHP - and I won't count my reloads (1.260).
I could tap the back of the slide and get them to fully chamber, except for a couple of times where I ejected the rd and started over. Also had a Federal load that need a love tap from a dowel rod to come on out.
I don't feel like giving Colt anymore time with this thing. Sound like an extractor issue?
Any help is appreciated.
