Hey Everyone,
I am new to the forum and hope that I can get some sage advice. I just bought a 4x4 Laminate stock 30-06. Brought it home after purchasing it and having it bore sighted so I thought I would test the trigger pull and put a couple of snap caps into it (yes they are the right size). On the very first cycle it jammed and has happened about every 3rd cycle thereafter both with live rounds and snap caps alike. I have an ATR 30-06 and love it so this is why I bought this rifle. Needless to say I am pretty upset right now!
Has anyone here had the same issue and have some advice on what I should do? It almost appears that the magazine is not feeding the round upward correctly (or with to much pressure) and therefore the bolt is not catching it correctly. It is feeding it at an angle.....hence the jam! Any helpful thoughts or comments would be much appreciated. Again this is not my first Mossberg rifle but if this is an ongoing issue it will be my last.
