I need some advice on a strange malfunction from Tuner or anyone with more grey hair than me.
My Wilson CQB was delivered with a rather tight extractor. I was having FTF's on the last round of the occasional mag. Rounds weren't sliding behind the extractor. Upon Tuner's advice I lessened extractor tension until I could "push-feed" all rounds without the recoil spring installed. This seemed to solve the problem.
Now I am suffering a malfuntion that I am unfamiliar with. It is a failure to eject. Has only happened on the last round of the occasional mag. The slide is locked back, the offending case has been shoved back into the mag, with the case head creased and bent from apparent contact with the front of the chamber opening of the slide. The mag won't release as the stuck case is bulging the feed lips. The case has to be pryed out with a knife to clear the malfunction.
I'm not sure if this is an extractor problem, ejector problem, a recoil spring problem, or what. Perhaps slide velocity is an issue since it is only happening with an empty magazine.
It's only happened about 3 times in the last 200 rounds. I have yet to conduct a proper range session to target problematic mags and/or ammo. Various Wilson mags and ammo were being used during times of malfunction.
Thanks to all who have any advice.
