Gentlemen,
I have an SA Champion with about 350 rounds through it.
It has developed on FTF problem. I clean and lube it after every range session. I am using UMC, WinClean, Blazer and American Eagle ammo in 230grn.
UMC has had the most failures. Here is what happens
A round is fired and extractor/ejected fine. The next round in the mag nose dives into the mag and the slide rams up against the rear of the round. Most of the time it happens with the 2nd to last round in the mag. I am using one metalform mag and 2 factory mags. Oddly enough this FTF happens with the UMC, and Winclean about 2 or 3 times per 50 rounds. Never happens with the American Eagle and only happened once with the Blazer ammo. Any ideas?
I am taking it to the local smith this afternoon to have him give it the once over. I liked to help him narrow down the problem
Thanks
Matt
