Day 2 Updates
So back to the range this morning. Still feeding the Fiocchis in one at a time into the magazine and then the chamber. First four rounds "chimney". I consider this progress as yesterday only 1 of 7 got that far. Fifth shot comes up AND out of the breech and the toggle is full locked in the open position with an empty mag!! Good news. Next four rounds fire, eject, toggle locked open. Yes!!
OK, now let's put two in the mag and see if we can complete the next step....
Not so much. NOT one of the second rounds in the mag made it up and in the chamber. Now ALL fired rounds ejected up and out, but the next round jammed.
Now these are Fiocchi 765 .30 Luger 93 gr. The listing says FMJ but they have in fact a lead tip. Soft lead....
Now a new Mag is in the mail, so happy to let this lay for the week and try again when the new mag arrives....it may fix the rest of this.
Thoughts on the jamming "next" round and the soft lead tip? Soft tips a recipe for disaster? New Mag may sort it out, leave it for now?
