Here's what I got going on. Type 14 Nambu fails to feed. All parts and mag appear original with the exception of a known reproduction safety.

The pistol fails to feed after firing. Upon visual inspection the bolt can be seen stopped on top of the round at the top of the magazine (it does not strip the next round off the top of the mag but winds up on top of the round).

A friend has a Type 14 that does function correctly. My magazine works fine in his pistol. We swapped the safety and springs from his gun to mine with no improvement. It is unknown if his springs are original.

We swapped the safety because his original safety appears to be milled slightly as if to prevent it from interfering with the feed ramp.

Can the issue be related to the springs? Could the bolt be out running the magazine? I have ordered a set of heavy duty springs but wonder if there are any other ideas or advice?
