Update: Slide being locked back for days didn't help a bit, so I ordered a new recoil assembly and decided to cut off some coils on the current one meanwhile. I initially took off 4 coils to be conservative, tested it, and found that was insufficient. I then took off an additional 3 coils, which mad...

"You might try just locking the bolt as far as it will go back and let it sit for 3-5 days and see if it takes a set that will weaken the RS." Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I did it overnight, but no luck this a.m. on the first round in two mags. I'll try it for 4-5 days before clipping the sprin...

One important detail I left out (sorry) was that the gun was modified to have an integral suppressor with the barrel being ported to bring ammo to subsonic speeds. That will weaken the pressures built up in the barrel, but it doesn't quite explain to me why the first round is different than the rest...

First round failure to extract/eject, 22/45 MKIII

Hi all. I have done most of the mods for my newish 22/45, keep it clean, have maybe 500 rounds through it, and have worked out all but basically one issue: when shooting, all rounds eject except the first one. Same is true for all 5 mags, using WWB 333 bulk, Fed 525 bulk, and Rem Golden Bullet bulk....
