New Beretta Stovepipes

[orangeninja]

Hi all....we had a great time at a little THR get together here in Beautiful DFW Texas but one thing kind of left a bad taste in my mouth....my Beretta that I just got and the Preban Asian mags...do not like each other. If I were to load 15 +1 the last round will stove pipe with the bullet itself facing skyward unshot. If I put 16 rounds + 1 (it's only marked to hold 15 but will take 16) same result. HOWEVER, if I were to put ONLY 14 + 1, it worked fine. No Stovepipes, no jams. Weird. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

BTW the 10 Beretta mag worked fine ALSO I tried 3 different Preban Asian mags and all got the same result.

You have weak mag springs.
Give Wolff a call in the morning.

Man that would be great if true...I will certainly do so...thanks George, I owe you a drink.

Naw... any one would have told you the same thing.
The spring has enough grunt left to push all the rounds up... but the last one. It's tired. Maybe has take a little set. Or maybe someone put the wrong springs in to begin with. Either way... a new stronger spring should clear this issue up.
If thats not it, then the lips on the mag are funky or something... but I had this on a couple mags... and new springs (under 10 bucks delivered) cured the problem.
