The problem I am encountering with my 1899 carbine is that all pointed type rounds like spritzer rounds or short length type rounds such as 130 grain bullets tend to jam and not feed into the chamber. By the way the carbine has seen quite a bit of use. Do you think the magazine follower spring might be weak? Has anybody had this problem?
My model 1898 rifle which is in very good shape it feeds all ammunition perfectly regardless of what it is.
