    I have had problems with rifles not feeding, but I don't put up with it. As has been said above follower problems are the most likely cause. These can be experimented with by cutting strips of plastic like icecream container lids for example to fit the follower and gluing one on to see if it helps. Once the cure is found the plastic can be replaced with metal or better still, a strip of slippery wear resistant nylon. Another problem can be the lead into the chamber, that can be opened with a rotary file. Problems there cause rounds to ping up and miss the hole. Most likely a problem when putting a fat case into a standard action. The other problem I have had to fix is the follower binding on the sides of the mag box
