Love mine. accurate and reliable. I do have the occasional extraction problem but i'm totally willing to live with it considering I tend to go through at least a couple hundred rounds in a shooting session and have at most a jam or two but quite often none at all.

Yeah they are generaly a bit tight for tolerances, probably just a bit of powder fouling gumming up your firearm.

I have the MKII G wood stock. I like it very much, only complaint is the feeding from the mag is typically poor. It ranges from essentially being incapable feeding with some types of ammo to OK feeding, but still problematic, with others. i find the 5rnd mags feed much better than the 10.

Me and my buddy have never experienced this and we shoot 5 and 10 rd mags, BTW we shoot american eagle 40 gr. What were you shooting?

Mine is the Stevens version and I've had it for years, not ever had a missfeed with any of the magazines I have. I wonder if there is an issue that should have been addressed by warranty on yours?

awesome gun for the money! IMHO. My dad and i both have them, the heavy barrels are very accurate

My mags are sloppy and rattle a lot, especially the 10rnd that came supplied.

Winchester GT feeds well and is very accurate so I stick with it. Am Eagle is OK. Some target rounds with a shorter ogive get stuck on the bottom edge of the chamber and hang up on the way in.

However after about 20 rounds when the chamber rim is dirty and waxy the feeding gets way better on all ammo.

Pitty, it sounds as if they didn't install your magwell properly or it is somehow out of spec. All of these firearms I have used (my personal one included) feed and fire everything and the magazines fit very well.
