Morning All
I have been running through my test process with the No4, ready for a couple of SR events this year.
However I find that running through the magazine the last round will not cleanly chamber.
It appears that the nose of the bullet points towards the upper left of the chamber and gets stuck!!!!
Otherwise all other nine rounds feed OK.
Anyone have any experience of this problem and how it can be solved
Best Regards

I had the same problem with a Charnwood Ordnance 7.62 No4 Mk1, first 9 rounds would feed perfectly then number 10 would jam as described.
It could be that the lips on the magazine need tweaking

As mentioned by snayperskaya, the magazine lip on that side probably needs adjustment. Just bend it inwards and down, but in tiny increments between each test - a small adjustment can make a big change to round feeding behaviour.
Also worth checking that the magazine snaps cleanly and firmly into the rifle body. The mags are not freely interchangeable between rifles, and on some rifles they had to be adjusted and fitted.
