I think i figured out why my interrupter wasn't working

Post by ourichie »

I was a the range yesterday with my M38 and the magazine functioned properly. I am thinking that the fact that I was using brass dummy rounds that are lighter than live cartridges is having something to do with it.

what say the hive?

The hive mind thinks that if your magazine spring is weak that could be a factor.

Sorry, I need to link my old post. i was having issues with the interrupter holding dummy rounds down. When I used live rounds, it functioned 100% every time.
