I picked up an FEG AP-MBP 7.65 32ACP (Walther PPK Clone). I bought a box of Corbon for PD. After loading a magazine with 7 rounds, I put the safety on and chambered 1 round. I noticed that it seemed like it took a bit more effort to chamber. I tried to MANUALLY eject the round and chamber the next round, and found that I couldn't get the slide to move. The round was too tight in the barrel. It too 2 hand and a lot of strength to extract and eject the round.
So, I dismantled the gun so I had just the frame and barrel totally exposed. If I put in a Blazer or winchester round (That's all else I had); the round seated pretty much all the way down. Even if I pushed the round all the way in with my finger, it only took a finger nail to pull the round out. However, if I put in a Corbon, it seemed to not go in all the way. It was smooth except for that last millimeter or such. If I manually pushed the round in the rest of the way, it would take a small screwdriver on the rim with a lot of effort to extract the round. I tried this with almost the entire box with the same results. Seems like the last millimeter or such of the rounds are a little bit wider and too snug.
Has anyone had any problems with certain brands of ammo not quite fitting correctly? I would have thought Corbon would have been a bit higher on the quality. I have another Walther PPK 32 acp, but my daughter is currently borrowing it. So I don't have another gun to try the ammo in. Any ideas? mike....
