MK III Feed Ramp Jams? -> It's the Mags.
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 11:37 pm
I finally purchased a MK III Hunter a couple of weeks ago and immediately (round #1) experienced a feed ramp jam with bullets I have fired flawlessly out of a MK II.
The MK II was never picky about needing the "right brand" of ammo.
I found that there is quite a bit of info posted at many sites about problems and fixes for feed / ejection problems. These are largely correct and may be related to the problem I found.
I have posted photos and a summary here:

To the point, the front mouths of the MK III magazines are cut deeper than the MK II mags (at least the 3 that I have) and now there is nothing to start many types of bullets properly on the feed ramp.
