Strange RFB behavior. Ideas and help needed.

To start off. This is a brand new RFB 24.

The gun has as an issue stripping the last round out of the magazine. Chambers perfectly with more than 1 round in the magazine.

It ONLY happens on the last round. I am noticing a scratch forming on the last round in the magazine after FTL. SOMETIMES it will pick up the last round if you rack it REALLY hard.

pics coming later

Edit. It is happening with multiple Thermold mags

I had that trouble for a little while until the gun broke in a bit. It's stopped completely now, just keep shooting it.

There's a break-in period for the rifle, but there's also a pretty decent break-in period for the Thermold mags as well with that feeding issue. I'm not sure how to get the magazines broken in other than just running them and being embarrassed on the range when you have to explain failure to feeds with your glorious RFB.

Took some very fine wet sand paper and hit the underside of feed lips very gently. Did wonders for the mag

Ah nice, I just ran the shit out of them until they worked consistently.

Haha they will get this treatment as well. The sandpaper helped but the real deal will do the job the right way ๐Ÿ‘
