mauser 1914 slide jam
I' m putting this here rather than starting a new thread.
I made five dummy 32 ACP rounds by loading cast bullets into spent brass and marked them with black. I put one of them in the mag of my 1914 mauser (after checking that no round was in the chamber). I tried to cycle it. The slide would not pull back. I noticed that it lacked about 1/16" being all the way in battery. I tapped it forward with a wooden meat tenderizer (slap head). It still won't move. Now what. Any ideas? It's possible the OAL was too much. In any case what now?
