Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Let me try to answer the questions in order:

I was using Fiocchi 115gr. The ammo was about a year old. -I have used Fiocchi in the gun since I picked it up a few years ago with no problems until the recent events.

I clean my guns after every session at the range. I believe the gun was appropriately lubricated. The chamber was clean, smooth, and not lubricated with anything more than residue gun oil from the last cleaning. (I always run a dry patch through to get the excess oil.) -I don't know if this will help but I noticed the ramp got marred by the copper jacket on the rounds. I think I got most of it off. But I'll need your opinion if you think the ramp is too rough.

To be honest, I've been wondering about the mags. I have one of those ground WWII FXO mags and the gun generally worked fine with it. I bought one Mec-Gar mag and the gun worked okay. I then bought two more Mec-Gar's and the gun stopped working reliably. I thought it might be a springs issue so I stored the two mags loaded to compress the springs. It worked for a little bit but now the gun doesn't work reliably with any of the mags.

I live in Sin City. Since what happens here stays here, and I live here, I'm not sure what that means for me. ;-) I'd prefer to go to a local gunsmith if possible, but it's more important for the job to be done right then for it to be done wrong locally.

As for pics, I think I can get some up. What areas do you guys want to see?

Thanks again,

Dave
