I have a new SAR Arms B6P Compact that I've been having some Failure To Feed issues with. When I first got it all I shot was Blazer aluminum cased ammo, but lately all I can find is RWS and Remington UMC. With the Blazer ammo the gun shot perfectly, but with the RWS and UMC its been having some problems. With the RWS the first round in the mag gets jammed when I try to rack the slide, but the rest of the mag usually fires fine. The UMC Fails to Feed more often (2-4 of every 10 rounds FTFs).
When the round FTF the nose of the round is pushed up against the top of the chamber and when I tap the slide forward it pushes into battery, but I noticed yesterday that some of the casings had indentations.
When I took the barrel out of the slide and simulated chambering a round by hand it looked like the feed ramp was too steep, but I'm still kind of new to pistols so I don't really know. I put a tiny bit of lube on the feed ramp (out of curiosity) and it seemed to help, not sure if that means anything or not.
I've read about people sanding the feed ramp, or changing the recoil spring so its lighter or heavier, but I don't know if any of these remedies would help in my situation.
The LGS that I bought the pistol from does not offer any kind of warranty. I live in a small town so pistols and ammo are scarce.
Any advice, suggestions, or help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
