Matchguns MG2 feeding problem

I own almost new MG2, only about 1000 shots, serial number something 3xxx. I have tested with different brands of ammo (Eley, CCI, SK), but result is always the same.

For the first 4 shots it works 99% perfectly, but the last cartridge of magazine will not feed properly. In stead of chamber the cartridge goes below the chamber. Bullet bents and bullet insert lever hits a dent to middle of case.

Anyone else faced this problem?

Did you talk to Stefano? Apparently there is a update, don't know from which number on. Problem seems to arise from the magazine.

Thanks for the tip Tycho.

MG2 is delivered with two magazines and other one had to be replaced in the very beginning. Just check that the replaced magazine is about 2 mm shorter and spring feels slightly stiffer, maybe there has been an update.

Tomorrow I will go to range and try with the other magazine.

Problem solved

Problem was in part MG2057 (extractor?). Matchguns sent new part to me and now after installing it there has been no feeding problems.

I have shot only 300 shots with two different brands of ammo. Too early to say it is perfect but it does look promising.
