Stuck cases again.

[samboy]

Hi gang.

             Apart from changing ammo i dont know what to do next. Stripped bolt down and have put new claws and spring onto bolt.

              Gave breech a good scrubbing and after 8 shots the spent cases would not eject againn. Have gave breech another scrubbing

              so will will try it out again next week. Time for new gun me thinks.

What utensil are you using to 'scrub' out the chamber ?     some 1200 grit wrapped around a brush might make things a bit smoother a brush can go around very small projections without shifting them.

A 410 bronze brush but i will get some 1200 grit and give it a go.

Where did you get the new claws from, could do with some myself?

take the bolt out slip a bullet into the claws and see why they dont grip as they should       they are stamped out parts and may need fettling or filing to square up  if you can pull the case out with a fingernail its not the chamber   unless signs of overpressure i doubt      look to the shape of the extractors and file where needed   to crisp ever thing up   go slow you cant put the metal back      it doesn't  take a lot  other than a good looking at     and a polish   if in doubt pm me
