Good Day Gents,
I have a ruger 44 auto loader that has a problem with the cartridge stop and I do not know enough about this rifle to figure it out. I hope some one can provide me with some info. This is what I see going on.
As the slide moves rearward and close to the end of it's cycle, it moves under the cartridge stop flat spring and the cartridge stop moves to let the next round enter the carrier, OK that's normal. But as the slide comes to a stop the cartridge stop does not move back and it let's the next round follow and jam. The only thing that I can come up with is that maybe a very weak cartridge stop spring that does not have enough force to push on the flapper and push the cartridge stop back in time to prevent the next round from loading ? As I stated, I'm not familiar with this rifle and wounder if this is a common problem with the 44 auto loader.
