I just got a WTO switchlug installed on my 6.5CM CC Axiom and had a 223 barrel spun up.
Went to go zero it and ~70% of the ammo I tried were FTF. should have took took pictures, but it looked like it was light primer strikes.
On top of that, about 95% of the rounds (fired or not) didn't eject. They either "limped " out if the election port, hung up not getting extracted from the chamber at all, or didn't eject.
The extractor spring seems weak so I'm going to replace that with one I have laying around to see if that helps. But looking at the ejector it seems much more recessed then the one on my standard bolt face for the 6.5. I'm thinking this might be an issue as well.
I cleaned the hell out of the bolt, inside, firing pin hole, extractor lip, ECT. All with no luck. Headspace checks out also. Only thing I haven't check is firing pin protrusion / fall. That will be tonight when I get home.
Can anybody that doesn't have these problems with their 223 bolt for their axiom / vector please snap a photo of the bolt face so I can compare the ejector.
And does anybody know if the firing control system is the same for standard / 223 ? It seems like all they sell is ones for short and long action, but looking at the two I have (both for SA) they look different ?
Calls and emails aren't doing much good, trying to stay positive and chalking it up to technical difficulties.
If anybody has any help or experience is appreciate it. Thanks.
