Yes it is normal for the feed ramp to have minor play. What is the feeding issue?

It seems to feed everything but 115gr fmj, It pushing the bullets back into the casing.
124gr Winchester, Gold dot HP both feed fine. |

What buffer are you using? I would suggest using a lighter buffer with that lighter load.

Nice setup! Those Macon buffers come in different weights. They are the heaviest on the market for the most part. Do you know what weight you have? Standard for a 9mm is usually around 5.5oz.

They make the adjustable one that goes from 5.5oz to 7.5oz. Remove the roll pin in the rear of your buffer and remove the some of the led shot they put in there to bring it back to the 5.5oz. The 7.5 will be too heavy for most standard FMJ ammo.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You can remove some of the shot internal to the buffer.....and adjust the weight....But I'm 99.9 % sure I can solve your issue with a feed cone adjustment on the barrel. But I run the full 7.5 ounce on everything...from 115 fmj to 147 hp without issue......but the rest of the upper is Macon Armory....

Dewd, clean some of the lube out! Wear marks can give some good hints as to problems, but that feed cone does look kind of shallow. Get a shot through the ejection port with it together, it'll show if the feed ramp is part of the problem.

Clean the chamber, adjust that buffer (lighter). Then report your success

Is it my imagination or is that feed cone cupped (as opposed to a flat bevel)? If I'm seeing that right, I imagine it could deflect the bullet out of position even as it enters the cone.
