To try and eliminate useless banter, we can be clear that I am aware that this particular model is generally a POS. That being said......
Does anyone know of any alternate mags that one could use in this? The factory mag, when viewing it loaded with rounds, seems to stack them quite haphazardly. Almost as if once rounds drop below the feed lips, that there is too much room in the magazine body. Not sure it is causing any issues, it just doesn't look "right/neat" to me.
At the meeting of the feed ramp, to the chamber, the machining looks rough. Manually cycling rounds, upon inspection after ejection, shows that they seem to get "clipped" at the junction of feed ramp and chamber. Little flecks of the projectiles accumulate in this area. I know the previous owner well. He bought this new, and I believe him that he did not get into this area with implements of metallurgical destruction. I'm thinking the area may benefit from a bit of polishing up, and smoothing, to eliminate the roughness in the transition. It appears as though by design, that the bottom of a chambered round would not be fully supported at the chamber, by the way the feed ramp meets it. I'm thinking about lapping the area smooth, with some fine emery glued to a dowel, and some patience.
I have not fired this yet. So far just studying it, as far as design goes, and understanding the mechanisms, before that.
Any thoughts, suggestions? TIA for anything productive.
