New gun (well, has about 600 rounds now after 3 sessions....but this was an issue from day one). Please refer to my crude diagram attached.
Rounds loaded in the magazine. Top round in magazine has play on the projectile end of the round. It can lay down flush on the round beneath it (diagram: RED round), or you can lift up the front of the round a tad (diagram: BLUE round).
If the round is in the RED position, it catches the bottom of the feed ramp and jams itself. I only figured this out on my last session. So what I have to do is manually ensure the first round on the magazine is lifted up to the BLUE position.
If I start a magazine with a round in the BLUE position, all subsequent chamberings are flawless. If a round starts in the RED position and then jams on the feedramp(is this a stovepipe?), I can pull the bolt back to extract it, but chances are the next round will do the same.
Is this normal for this gun? I can't understand how subsequent rounds chamber will rely on how the very first round is ready in the magazine and if it jams or not.
