RANGE REPORT

After I received 2 new 2 Mec Gar magazines I took the weapon to the range this morning. Some malfunctions did not appear, but others persist.

The firing pin reliably cocked each time. The hold open did not engage while there were still rounds in the magazine.

However, as with last trip to the range, there were a couple of instances of used casings stovepiping. The most prevalent malfunction was that often the new rounds would not feed properly into the chamber. There was some play in the magazine catch. If I put the gun on the table and pressed down while shooting this would not occur.
