I bought a new Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine about 3 weeks ago and have fired it on 2 trips to the range. The first time I had some feeding problems and LOTS of ejection problems. I think the feeding problem was that I did not have the magazine completely seated. The 2nd time shooting I had very few feeding problems. I am still having ejection problems and it may be that the bolt is not fully unlocking.
I am using 2 brands of ammo. Magtec (Turners) & Talon (from the gun show). I have measured the cases of each with calipers and find the Magtec to be .5/1000 larger in diameter at the base, middle, and just under the bullet. The funny part is that the slightly larger cases are ejecting better.
Any ideas or anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks for any help,
Ron
