Perhaps an odd question here, but I'm looking for advice.
I've got a bunch of blank firing semi-autos, made exclusively to fire blanks (plugged barrels, cheap construction) and the most common problem I have with most of them is spent brass getting caught in the slide as it returns forward, trapping it there.
Any suggestions on things that might help minimize this? I do try to keep them cleaned and oiled, especially since the blanks tend to be smoky and dirty, but it's harder to clean something with a plugged barrel. Otherwise, I dunno... polishing with a dremel maybe? Is it that brass might be catching in the chamber, or more likely that the slide isn't working like it should?
Thanks,
Kevin
