Hey guys, I'm having some feeding issues with my bcd. It's an old (1980s) .308w conversion that has recently been re barreled (.308 Walther L barrel), It also has a repro stock of which i don't know the brand, but it's Polish and quite a know brand here. It also has a shooters kit, using the smallest orifice. And a new extractor, trigger and all new wolf springs. The last owner told me the mag is original, but seeing that it shoots 308 now i'm not sure if that's still even relevant?
The receiver, bolt/housing and flaps are all matching.
I just use whatever ammo the range has to offer, could be PRIV could be S&B... But always premium ammo and never old/surplus. She can finish entire mags one time and choke on each round the next... But the main issue seems to be rounds either nosediving in the mag itself, OR slamming into the feed ramp. Also, sometimes the rounds nosedive all together when i refill the magazine? Like at one point they click into the mag nice and easy, but the other time they are all pointing slightly downwards and it's very hard to fix without simply emptying the mag by hand and trying again.
I'm HOPING it's something that can be fixed and not related to the gun simply not working well with the shorter .308 rounds.
Bad magazine/spring/follower?
The new stock needing some fine tuning?
Too small gas orifice for a .308?
It came with a broken Czech ZF4 which i managed to fix myself and i'm surprised at how accurate this rifle is! I really love shooting it and i hope this won't be a nightmarish fix. The last owner told me that he didn't have any issues with the old stock, but that one got severely damaged during a proofing mishap so even tho i still have that one, it's quite useless now.
Cheers
