Chinese made sks rounds want load in chamber?

[Guest Xd-40]

The 7.63 x 39 rounds are hanging going in to the chamber. If anyone has any idea on what i can try it would be helpful. The ony thing i can notice is the rounds are not angeling up into the chamber....

Are you shooting lacquered steel cased ammo? If so the lacquer may be buiding up in the chamber.

Or are the rounds binding coming out of the magzine? Can you post a picture?

Get a new mag.

Fixed 10 rd mag or aftermarket high capacity? High capacity mags are notorious for feed problems.

If you've shot lots of Wolf ammo and gotten the gun hot, the chamber is likely gunked up.

Yes i am shoting the lacquered rounds. I will try to clean it up good and change shells thanks for all the input. Will ley you know what happens...........They are wolf brand aswell it started with the extended mag now it does it with the factory mag.

Those aftermarket mags are all garbage except the tapcos...and even those have issues with HP rounds sometimes. (thats what you were using, right?)

I don't understand that lacquer problem. I have shot tons of lacquered ammo and it does not build up in my chamber.

If you blast away in rapid fire mode and then leave one in the chamber for more than a minute or two, the lacquer can melt off the casing.

I don't understand it either. I have also shot a lot of lacquered ammo, and never had it "melt" off the rounds. I've seen tests where people have put a propane torches to lacquered cases, and the lacquer never came off.

I've never personally experienced it either, but I have seen pictures of what appeared to be lacquer goop in a chamber. The one I saw was a failure to extract problem rather than failure to feed. The guy had several 30 rds mags and blew through easily 100rds in less than a minute. He likely hadn't cleaned it (ever) either. The stock mag doesn't hold enough ammo and takes too long to reload.
