Sauer 100XT feeding issue

[Peter988]

When my 100XT was new (223) it jammed the feed if more than two were in the mag. Fed fine with one or two. Jammed with three or four. Sent it back and they fixed it. Been fine since and shoots really well. Extremely happy with the rifle.

Different issue, but an issue none the less. Do you know what they did to rectify the problem?

Sorry. No. But I thought it might mean your mag was not feeding at the correct angle.

Probably, could be the angle, but mine dosnt have a jamming issue, it still takes a full mag and cycles them, just encounter resistance, needing force to push a round in.

How is it when you hand feed without the mag?

It's ok when hand feeding, the resistance occurs when it starts pushing the round out of the mag.

Doesn’t sound like rifle as per MM. Try putting a little bit of dry lube on underside of magazine clasp (where it holds the round) as the spring pressure in the mag is pushing pretty hard into the holder in magazine.

Might have to head off to Bunnings to get some dry lube.

Update:
So I got the cotton bud and tried marksmans trick, and it wasn't pulling any strands, so no burs, but it's still scraping the brass as it passes the crossover to the chamber.

Anyway, tried Tassie tigers suggestion, got a tissue with inox on it and gave the bolt and inside the action a rub. It collected a small amount of carbon and gave it light lubrication, that and making sure im pushing straight was the difference.

Thanks for your input everyone.

The double stack mag means a bit more tension in the spring than a single. Glad you got it sorted.
