Hello, I have a 1916 P14 that I finally got to take out shooting yesterday. It belonged to my grandfather and my uncle gave it to me a few months ago. When he did he told me that it would jam alot. So I bought some 303 snap caps and played around with it and it worked fine. I get it to the range, first round cycles fine, second round Jams. So I take a look and I see that the rim from the top round is behind the rim of the second down round causeing the round to jam. Has anyone encountered this before? I tried searching but came up with nothing. I assume the magazine spring is weak allowing the recoil to jumble the rounds.
Heres a picture of the old rifle.
Thanks
