Thus the case is being pushed back into the bolt even while being pulled out of the chamber. And the ejector spring can't over come this reward force and push the case to the side.
Another theory- The case is being extracted while pressure is too high and the extractor is digging into the rim of the case and from there it is just too stuck to be kicked out.
Ether of these would be fixed by some sort of a delayed gas system. I'm thinking of ether the M16 Clinic Pigtail or an adjustable gas tube. Anyone thoughts?
BTW QB- I'd be more than happy to take some snap shots if you want to put them up on your site.
