as the title says.. I took out my first db alloy build yesterday to the range to test fire. I racked it and it shot the first round fine, but wouldnt reset the trigger, nor fully seat the next round into the chamber.. if i then manually reracked, it would eject the live round and reset the trigger and would then load properly so i could shoot.. but then the cycle repeated.. failed to load next round or reset trigger successfully. Could this be related to the mag? Not sure if the mag is the issue, this is my first print using printed mags vs oem.. using the normal sten mag file with a glock 33rnd spring. could the mag spring have too much tension on the stack that slows the bolt cycle? Anything else that would be causing this? I appreciate the help..
for reference, here is my build so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/fosscad/comments/1liwmfu/few/_questions/_on/_first/_db/_alloy/_build/?utm%5C_source=share&utm%5C_medium=web3x&utm%5C_name=web3xcss&utm%5C_term=1&utm%5C_content=share%5C_button
