So - very new to the SMLE world having just picked up my first (1916 BSA No1 Mk3). The gun has been sporterized and no I know it shoots really well, I intend to bring it back to it's original glory. Question is, even tho it shoots great, the ejecting doesn't feel like it's functioning as well as it should. With the mag full the cartridges mostly get chucked out fine, but when I am down to 1 or 2 in the mag, the spend cartridge just kind of bobbles around and doesn't fly like I would expect.
Is this normal, or should I be looking at a new extractor or extractor and spring? Any advice would be most welcome.
Cheers.
