Round stuck in 92

[teamnelson]

1st trip to the range with a new EMF 92, factory ammo. Shoots like a dream - felt like I was 10 yo! .38 fed fine, .357 jsp fed fine although the feeding is stiff. Blazer jhp were crap to feed, and now I have one stuck in the breech of the mag tube clearing dust cover. I'm guessing I need to take the tube apart.

Any thoughts on this?

If you could post a picture I might help, but if not it's ok.  Would it be possible to try to work the bullet bakc into the mag tube from where it is now?  Maybe with a thin nail sized tool?  You may try giving it a couple taps on the butt of the rifle and it may loosen it up.  You can take the screw & cap off the magazine tube to releave any pressure. 

Does any of this help?

Teddy, sure did! Used a pencil, eraser end, to push it further into the tube until I felt the spring push back. Closed the action, tapped the butt on the carpet a couple times - heard a click. Levered the action and voilą. The blazer case is burred onthe rim which I think caught. New action probably need to break in before it feeds more smoothly.

Thanks!

Glad to hear that everything worked out for you!

IIRC, that's exactly the reason Blazer ammo isn't recommended for use in leverguns.

The aluminum cases are too easily nicked, and/or gall, during feeding and stick.
