In my pics the lifter has only just started to raise to feed a cartridge. I believe that the rim of the cartritage is hard impacting the lever, below its relief. BEFORE it reaches the cartridge stop.Is the lever really that far open when the carrier drops full-down and and exposes the magazine? With my 30-30s the cartridges don't pop out of the magazine until the bolt is almost locked. The head of the lever catches the carrier at the front and pulls it the last little bit down as the lever snicks closed.
I ran thru the cycle with out the lever and nope that bugger shoots dummies about 10-12" out the action!Could the follower be sticking in the magazine tube?

yep, I could not tell the number of times my eyeball assumptions proved wrong when DyKem was applied. I have also learned not to marry my assumptions as often they are wrong.Yes, but that isn't where the lever nose is when the cartridge first comes out of the magazine toward the lifter stop. What you're showing isn't what's happening, the lever is almost horizontal when the cartridge pops back...or should be. If the cartridge rim is hanging up on the lever, it isn't doing it at the point you indicate. Time to put some Dykem or sharpie on the lever nose and see where the actual hangup is.
I disagree If id posted large pics to see all we would not see areas of issue clearly enough. These parts are on top of receiver so yes approximations. But lever loop is parralell with where stock would be, so "dingus" that engages bolt is close to actual position on action.Yes, but that isn't where the lever nose is when the cartridge first comes out of the magazine toward the lifter stop.

Agreed. But I do think its very close.yep, I could not tell the number of times my eyeball assumptions proved wrong when DyKem was applied. I have also learned not to marry my assumptions as often they are wrong.
I dont think we are looking at same pics or I seriously do not understand.What exactly are you saying to me here?? pics I got were a bottle neck and your hollow point cast. Are you sure the mag spring/tube are OK? The spring should pop the rnd all the way back into the stop. The carrier is a gate, when it clears the spring should forcefully do so. Every once in a while my 30/30 bounces the case crooked onto the carrier. Kinda got to shake it into alignment to close the bolt.
