Sounds like there is a problem with one or both of the shell latches (#57). Load a dummy or a 2 3/4" empty into the magazine and then watch carefully as you cycle the bolt back. If it fails to pop a shell out of the magazine, squeeze/push the latches and see if that makes the shell pop out.

Also, make sure there is good spring pressure on the cartridge. Push on the head of the case in the magazine. Your follower or the mag spring could be hanging up.


Is it an SP with the mat finish? Those things are rough as cobs but they can be smoothed up and they will break in eventually.
