@shibao yes. It reeks of headspace issues. Maybe the firing pin is getting stuck onto the primer and retraction is pulling it out but I don’t see how that’s possible. More to think the force of the explosion is moving the case too much which means there’s too much wiggle room in the chamber.

Never checked headspace on this fun.

@awl @shibao a go/nogo headspace gauge for your caliber shouldnt be too expensive

@valleyforge they aren’t expensive no. It can wait til I get another Mauser. Even this really rough Turkish one impressed me enough to say I like them. @shibao
