I like the feel of wood and steel however I bought it with black plastic stock. I had bought a Boyd's stock looks nice but I finally shot it today with ball Ammo and had a few fail to feed this was with two ten round mags

I am knew here and would like to know why this occurred

Many variables....what was the ammo? factory? reloads? Did you disassemble, clean and lube the rifle? Is it a new or used rifle?

More specifics will lead to better diagnosis.....

Never fired Ammo was Venezuelan ball followed by Angio the groups were okay for low end Ammo when I did install the new Boyd's walnut stock I did shin and unitized the gas system. I do have a few boxes of Federal match ammo I ran out of time. As well I cannot use non Ca approved GI mags do you feel it's the Ammo I had about seventy perfect extraction and fed ammo
Both ten round mags are new.

I like the rifle had fun finally getting to shoot her but this overriding a round sometimes I thought I better ask the guys who run these nice rifles often


Hope this additional information helps

Never diagnose a rifle when using foreign surplus ammo. RNGR2

Try some of the Federal. See if it has the same problem. New rifles need a box or so of ammo run thru them to break them in.

That made my day. It's nice to know some folks still read the instructions given by the original designers. RNGR1

I'm 120 rounds in with no issues, using Checkmate Industries (CMI) 10-round magazines and ammo from Federal and Hornady. By chance did something snag on the op-rod or something else cause it to not move forward fully unimpeded?

Cheers,
