Different angle

Probably underpowered ammo not blowing the bolt back enough to provide enough time for the case to fly out of the way.

>>33533781
try cleaning your gas piston & chamber.

>>33533781
A couple things OP.
1. What ammo are you using
2. Is the ejector in proper order
3. Like >>33533868 said

>>33533781
Also, if you wanna get better reliability out of the 10 round mags, then you should install a 15 round spring.

Remington UMC. Hadn't considered that it might be the ejector, will have to check that out.

Thanks, will consider that. I have plenty of 15 rounders, but use the 10 rounders when at public ranges because CA.

Try extractor spring, replace it

>>33534358
Yes, initially I was thinking it might be an issue with the mainspring, but now I'm thinking it's a problem with the extractor/ejector.

>>33533781
>Bolt has moved far enough to extract round and almost chamber live round.

At a guess I'd say your ejector or maybe the gas system malfunctioning.

your ejector is messed up, it could be the extractor also. take the bolt apart, and replace the 2 little springs for the extractor and ejector/plunger and clean that shit the fuck out super good. might as well just pop in a new extractor while you are in there and have everything apart, its like a 4 dollar part. if you still get problems after that, its not the bolt, look at the gas plug and make sure your gas valve isnt plugged with crud.

its either cycling weakly or having a problem letting go of the spent round. when you hand cycle rounds, do they all eject normally?
