Title: brass deforming
Post by red on Jul 2^nd, 2017 at 5:39pm

Hello I have two krags One rifle one saddle ring carbine. Both unaltered. With the same box of factory ammo the rifle shoots/functions great! The carbine loads easy,shoots but deforms the brass ( gives it a sharp angled shoulder) and won't eject. Have to push case out with cleaning rod. Any ideas ?

Possibly, the Carbine's chamber was altered.

Pictures of your 'fired' brass would help with analysis.

And maybe a broken extractor. Just a little chip off the edge is all it takes.
