SAR-1 feed issue

[redllne]

Hi,

I have a romanian sar-1 (with raddlock) that i had previously put roughly 500 rounds through (mostly wolf) without issue. The other day at the range rounds were getting lodged in the chamber. I gave the rifle a thorough cleaning (just with my usual solvent), especially the chamber/barrel. The issue wasn't resolved - rounds are still jamming in the chamber on feed. I stripped the gun and dropped a round into the chamber and they are getting stuck at about the same 'depth'. I can remove the rounds from the chamber easily when gravity fed and cycling rounds works correctly when assembled and fed from the mag - the rounds just won't fully chamber.

Has anyone had a similar issue with an ak type rifle or a sar-1? Is there anything i can do DIY style to fix this? Could it just need a better cleaning - maybe with gunslick?

Or can anyone refer me to a good gunsmith in Socal?


Round not fully chambered:


Stripped / gravity fed


Gravity fed #2


Chamber (couldn't get lower angle shot)


any advice would be appreciated!

thanks.

You'll need a broken shell extractor to get that case neck out of you chamber.

Sounds like your gun needs some smithing...

did you get it out?

I did get it out, the shell extractor worked like a charm. Thanks!
