    Evans Rifle Chambering Issue

    ]Good Morning All,

    Back from the range with mixed results on my Military Transitional Evans. Loading, firing, and extraction were great. However, I could not chamber a round. The magazine worked well but when I went to lever the round into the chamber the round jammed. The round, coming out of the chamber, seems pinned to the left side of the receiver and the extractor was engaging/pinning the rim thereby pushing the round to the left. It took a bit of persuasion to disengage the round from the extractor and free up the round to push it into the chamber.

    Is the extractor part of chambering? Is the round suppose to sit loose in front of the chamber? Glad I only chambered one round for the first test.

    Thanks,
    Randy
