Hello,

I just finished building a nice 6 inch shooter pistol ( rust blue, strawed parts, new barrel ) and did some test firing. I used 2 good magazines ( one current MecGar & one SE63 ) that are working in other pistols. Ammo is 124gr FMC. Here is the problem: rounds are caught upwards halfway in the chamber in an oblique angle ( bullet pointing top ) on the feeding cycle...Dummy rounds dont do it, only live ones when firing...

Throat on bottom edge of barrel has both top & botton edges sharp. I thought that polishing & smooting those 2 angles could cure the problem...

What do you think...

Thanks for the help,
