I just got my MC Operator and was testing to see how it fed. I put in a fully loaded 7 round mag and pulled the slide back 6 times to eject all the bullets. All feeds went perfectly accept for the last round which jammed. After fixing the jam i tried it again and it ended up jamming again. So I just put one round in the mag and tried to load it but it still jammed. This happened with both of the mags that came with the gun. Is there a problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you dropping the slide completely or are you following slightly?

what do you mean following? Like easing it forward?

Are you pulling the slide back and then simply letting go?
or
Are you pulling the slide back and then either forcing it forward or slightly helping it forward?

Though I would say if you aren't helping it forward, you may want to try a different magazine.

i guess guiding it back down, not just letting go.

Stop hand cycling live ammo through it and try shooting it instead.

This.

But if you're going to cycle it like that (and not use snap caps or dummies), just drop the slide.

Stop now, you are going to shoot your self or you someone else, please go to shooting range and keep the muzzle of your pistol in a safe direction for testing.

I like those CNC machined A-Zoom snap caps myself.
