I finally have my RGG based GG complete and together, and am in the "tune-up/make it work" phase. I just about have it firing every barrel every time, extracting and ejecting....YEA! Only been working on this thing for 15 years of so.
I'm seeing a little feeding problem I'd like to ask about. Feeding .22 LR from the stick mag and cranking slowly, occasionally a round will "lift up" from the bolt carrier channel between the 12:00 and 3:00 position. It's therefore no longer aligned with the chamber, and the base is up against the extractor face, essentially making it worse. I'm thinking one solution might be a curved strip of spring steel that holds the rounds down into the channel until the bullet gets far enough into the chamber to ensure alignment for the rest of the feed cycle. Another idea would be a block on the inside of the curved magazine base doing the same thing. Anyone had the problem, figured a solution?
