Deeangeo, my rifle has a lift ramp identical to yours and it is exactly at that ramp that the cartridge shoulder catches and the whole thing locks up solid. I will have a look at my Model 1910 tonight and compare the difference. Now before you go altering anything on your rifle let me modify mine first, as mine is an old Greek military model that is pretty corroded and has been dicked with although not at the lift ramp. I got it for next to nothing and therefore it won't matter if I damage mine trying as it is mainly for spares. Give me a few days as I am flat out at work at the moment. Waidmannsheil.
That's quite a thing Waidmannsheil. Careful how you go though...I'm quite sure you will be.
If you see my previous post, you'll see I'm looking at the release tab being the culprit here.
Don't yet know for sure though, but it's beginning to look that way.
I'm not taking metal off anything until I know exactly.
In fact more to the point I'm going to try in a 'makeshift' way to add some to the release tab when I determine exactly where it should go in order to present the cartridge in a better way.
I shall be checking later today to see if the release tab is actually holding the case down far enough at the rear of the cartridge case. If it is not, the presentation of the case shoulder to that side feed ramp may be incorrect which results in the jam.
I hope I'll be able to confirm or not later today.
Best wishes, deeangeo
