.38/.357 damaging cases on feeding
.38/.357 damaging cases on feeding
My new 92 appears to be bending cases on feeding. Cycled these .38 SPLs through the action to check for feeding. No issues there, except for the damage. Any ideas?

It sure does look like they were forced into the chamber somthing is out of whack for sure. Was it really stiff cycleing?

It didn't seem any more difficult than my 92s in 44 and 45, nor my Win 94.

hmmm, curious then usaully this happens from trying to forcefully cycle the action. If you have a dental mirror check and see if you have an abnomality in the chamber? maybe just brain storming not sure what is causeing this.armymutt wrote:It didn't seem any more difficult than my 92s in 44 and 45, nor my Win 94.

If the weather cooperates tomorrow, I'll take it out and shoot a few. Trying to figure out if the cases are salvageable.

Re: .38/.357 damaging cases on feeding
Have you tried 357 bullets yet? I suggest normal shaped slugs like 158 grain soft points.

Re: .38/.357 damaging cases on feeding
With the bolt open, slide a new cartridge into the chamber by hand. Get it flush into the chamber if you can. This might take a little bit of pressure with something like the end eraser end of a pencil. Push the cartridge out with a cleaning rod. Any damage.
If none, cycle a cartridge but stop short of it moving off the carrier. Remove it and see if it is damaged.
If not, cycle another and stop it as the bullet enters the chamber. Remove it and see if it is damage.
These steps are to identify the point at which the cartridge is being damaged.
