Ditto, I did much the same thing and made up .30-06 weighted inerts to help cure my Springfield feeding issue..

I could go on but...... If it's misfeeding on the forward stroke it looks like the BB isn't picking up a round correctly. OR just clipping the top round, forcing it upwards and forwards where it stubs itself. But Newcastle, you are your own worst enemy I'm afraid. Use your high speed camera skills to photograph the rifle using live NATO ball without the cover.

We are all pis........ er.... urinating into the wind with this continuing '.....my car won't start saga'. To be honest, me and Bruce in Oz plus the other real Armourers here are what you'd call fairly reasonably familiar with the mechanics, technicalities and dynamics of the L1A1 after dealing with a zillion or so in our service lives. Let the dog see the bloody bone for heavens sake

Pulling teeth or what...........

Just send it here Charlie and I'll sort it out for you.

Your points are well taken Peter - This thread is indeed like many that have me going AAARRGH because it is one of those 'my red car wont start' things. I DO have access to a super high speed video camera from my job. I assume it is 100% safe to fire live NATO ammo without the cover on?

The cover just covers, it would never save you from anything. It just pops out during breech explosions...

Thread 34. The short answer is YES!
