Glad it didn't happen as I was charging over a hill to shoot Nazis at Normandy 😜.CH, a suggestion: put a sharpie mark on that enbloc clip. Include an up direction. That way if it happens again, you can see about isolating it to gun vs clip. The up arrow is to check it against which set of feed lips (I think those can go in either way, right?)Good luck, I know how frustrating feeding issues are.

If you still have the round, measure overall length.Anecdotally, the other day I was pulling bullets from a few old '57 FN Garand (we found 2 in a mixed bag with PPU, deemed em corrosive) and the hammer puller was absolutely ineffective. My wood block has the dents to prove it. Those bullets aren't moving until fired.Out of town but will measure a few when I get home, thanks!7 hours ago, busdriver said:CH, a suggestion: put a sharpie mark on that enbloc clip.

And the vast majority of 2A rulings have been quite favorable over the last couple decades, so now’s the time because I don’t necessity see the court getting better anytime soon, and more than likely it will get worse. While my money is on a positive ruling, if in the event it goes the other way, we’re no worse off than we’ve been wrt progressive states becoming more tyrannical—they were going to ban guns they don’t like anyway.
