apnea Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Shooting my M1014 today and had a slug casing deform and fail to eject. It was lodged in the ejection port. I have about 2,000 rounds through the gun and have never seen this before. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I would think flawed shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'd agree with M2. Looks like S&B ammo? I'd continue shooting and see if you get a repeat occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Forgot to add, if this is the 1st malfunction following 2k shells fired, I’d say that’s a win! I’ve never gotten an 870 to run with that amount of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apnea Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks guys. Hopefully just a bad shell. M2, not the first malfunction - have had several failures to feed related to underpowered ammo. I had a shell detach from brass and get lodged in the barrel. I think that was related to user error - repeated chambering of the round. SD, ammo pictured is Fiocchi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks for the info Apnea. Don't think Ive shot many Fiocchi shells from my M4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
