Semi Auto Bren extract problem

[locchau]

Vincent,

I have no luck with the ZB39 mag that I got. Its either not load the first round or only load and shoot the first one, two round at most then the bullet tip down into the mag. I oil the gun very well with break free CLP before and after shoot it, just clean it for pictures. Yes I use the same bolt for both calibers and it is the only bolt that I have. I just order PPU 174gr FMJ ammo from Aim Surplus, hopefully they will get here before Friday. As soon as the ammo get here, I will try it and will follow your comments if it still not working out. I’ll first try to polishing the .303 barrel chamber today after I get off from work before cutting the striker spring since I have tried to order a couple of spare from Mr. Savage but he don’t have any in stock. Anyone here have Historic Arms Bren with spare striker spring and one to sale one? I’ll be more than happy to take it. By what you said there is headspace involve on replacement of barrel, I probably hold off on that because I do not have any headspace gauge and don’t much about Bren to be able to do that by myself.

Joe and vincent, this is a dumb question but how do I disassemble the ZB39 mag. Is the bottom floor plate slide out just like AK or AR mag?
