| Went to the range yesterday w/ the beta (never been used) and loaded her up, and after every 1 to 2 shots it would not feed. The bolt was pushing the bullets into the front of the feed clip. Before I went to the range I made sure to lube it with the graphite. I also brought plenty of 30 rounders that all funtioned fine. Weapon is del-ton 16" upper and DPMS lower. Any ideas? |

Ammo Type??? ON new C mags, the mag takes a few loads until the parts mate in and the mag wants to run right. If you are using ammo on the weak side, the rifle doesn't give the mag the buffer off the back of the receiver extension jolt to help the mag recover, break in. Also, don't over due it with the Graphite lube. A little is all that is needed on the followers. Again, after a few loads, the links become a little looser and keep tension on the rounds at a better constant. So, at this point, take an air compressor and blow out all the lube you have added, then very lightly, lube the links (the only part you do need to lube), and then using ammo like XM-193, take the mag for another spin. |
