I bought a new 1894 last year, and have had trouble feeding both factory and reloads.
I tried suggestions I found on another site for tweaking the extractor spring and sanding part of the carrier to change the feed angle.
Both improved things a bit, but it still wasn't right.

Finally, I just removed the extractor spring and put the extractor back in by itself. Now it's feeding dummy rounds with XTPs and some fairly wide FP bullets from Zero.

My question......is there a reason that the spring has to be in the rifle? Is just removing it unsafe for some reason I'm not aware of?

It is cycling and ejecting just fine, but I recognize my limitations/knowledge. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something that is obvious to folks here.

Let me know if you have any questions, but the photo are pretty obvious of what needs to be tweaked so the rim cleanly seats on the bolt face from the angle feed up the lifter.

I missed these responses, but thanks for taking the time to give all of the details.  Things have just settled down with my schedule and I'll see if I can give this a shot.

Truly, thanks for putting together the details.
