As Alan de Enfield stated the problem has nothing to do with a rimless case BUT he is staggering the rounds in the magazine to make it function correctly……………….

This makes me think the magazine spring is weak or the feed lips are bent wrong or both, a weak spring can cause the rear of the follower to drop in the rear causing misfeeds. If the feed lips are off this might explain the first round jamb.

If he is shooting reloads and the brass has scratches, cuts, dents, pimples, dings these all can cause the round to hang or misfeed.

Also he has not stated what type ammo or bullets are causing the jams, different bullet ogive types, lead tips etc. will cause misfeeds.

It’s very tough being a psychic Enfield repairman without photos.


Most of my jams are heat related caused by laying down excessively long sustained suppressive fire bursts.
