M4Real Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Update: I went out and bought some brand new ammo and it's nowhere near as tight. I think maybe the old ammo I was using was slightly swollen or something. The new stuff fits much better. Just received mine and it's built very well. I'm having a problem getting the shells in and out though. The shells are so darn tight in the carrier. I'm not talking about where the ball bearing is. I'm talking about the overall fit of the shell in the groove. Do these things loosen up with use? I had to literally use a dowel to tap one out. I've tried several different brands of shells also. Other than that, I love it! Edited March 18, 2011 by M4Real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You might have to return it. Sounds out of spec. Or maybe a bur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super33 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What was the ammo you were using that was getting stuck? I have that same problem when I use Federal tactical like 127OO and 127RS. I can spin them a little to get them in there but they don't fit as good as some other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprichard Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Aren't you in Florida? I believe it could swell. Gotta love that wet salty Florida air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4Real Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Okay, from what I can tell, the ammo was using was older stuff that has been loaded/unloaded from different guns over the last couple of years. It was different brands and some of it sat in the tube for an extended period of time. I'm thinking that the rounds have compressed slightly and that's why they are tight in the grooves. I guess since the shells are mostly plastic, being under spring pressure caused the expansion. The new stuff I bought fits just fine and comes out fairly easily.
