Circa: 1995-ish
Subject: NIB Springfield Standard Mil-Spec
Issue: Empty case crushed horizontally between breechface and barrel hood.
Clues: Every time. Last round only. No matter the ammunition. No matter the magazine. No matter the grip force.
Extractor tension was good. Deflection was somewhat excessive, but not enough to cause feed/RTB problems...BUT...was related to the ejection issue. All other cases extracted and ejected cleanly, landing 6-8 feet from the gun on a slight rearward angle.
Gun was not easily repairable. Submitted to Geneseo warranty station with my notes and returned in working condition.
It's the little things that getcha.
Ready...Set...GO!
