Title: Feed Problem Question
Post by bote on Jan 29th, 2018 at 1:06am
My model 1892 jams, usually on the second round.  I try to work up light loads for 200 yards and under to reduce recoil.  I shoot a lot of 125 grain flat based spritzer points in 308 and 30-06.  I loaded some for my Krags and they grouped well but jammed occasionally.  I figured it was the pointed bullet but I loaded some 150 grain RNs with an OAL of 2.8 and they did the same thing today.  The ejector locks up.  If I open the feed door and move the rounds back and forth it eventually feeds.  This rifle has no cutoff as it's fitted with a Redfield no-drill.  Perhaps that is the problem.  My club has monthly 100 yard "fun vintage" matches and this is my bolt gun.  This problem makes the rapid fire frustrating.  Any ideas?
