| What do you mean by “failures to feed”? Is the cartridge stripped from the magazine but fails to go into the chamber (a “failure to chamber”)? Or is the cartridge simply left in the magazine and not apparently stripped off at all?

| How does the gun do with other ammunition? If that were the only type you fired with a specific magazine, it could be either the mag or the ammo. But if other types work okay with the mag(s) you used, I’d have to say something odd was going on with the ammunition. One thought is that the ammunition doesn’t cycle the bolt far enough to pick up the rounds in the normal manner by engaging the rims. That seems unlikely to me, but not impossible. When a cartridge fails to chamber properly, does the case show any sign of damage such as a crease or dent? Trying different ammo would be a test if you haven’t already tried it. Even if only one type of ammunition has problems, I’d still try different magazine(s) if you can.

| Just a place to start but do you have the same problem when removing the suppressor? |
