Thread: Cases being marked after chambering

Initially go KISS.
If is happens when not firing as well that is good.
Mark the base in one spot with a felt tipped marker or just use the first letter of the case makers name.
Insert case with mark/first letter at 12 o'clock.
Extract and orientate in the chamber area where the mark appear wrt to your witness mark.
Take to from there. You may see something with a good torch.
Look in the locking lugs area (a bit harder to do) as well for anything that might be marking the case as the extractor claw drags it out and it springs the case to that side. Would need quite a bit of force to dent the case though.
Check if the mark orientates with a locking lug.
Does your rifle have 2 or 3 locking lugs?
The mark has quite sharp detail at the bottom of the dent like something sharp and pointy has caused it.
Are you having any difficulty chambering a round?

You get the drift at any rate.
