I have a new M2 competition. When quad loading it will push a shell out onto the lifter sometimes. That’s keeping me from continuing loading. What’s wrong with it and how do I fix it? Magazine spring too strong from factory? She’ll latch problems from the factory? I’ve been googling but can’t find an answer. |

Sounds like your shell latch is out of spec, or previously “tuned” ...tuned a little too much  You might be able to teak the latch a bit to get more contact on the shell rim. Take the trigger group out and pull the back end of the latch toward the center of the receiver which in turn will put more pressure on the front end of the latch. Spring it a little at a time to avoid bending too much at once...Or just replace the shell latch

I had the opposite issue, mine was way to hard to get shell past the “hump” making loading difficult. As said above it’s an easy mod to bend the shell catch to get a perfect fit. It’s also really easy for the spring in the shell catch to get misaligned during assembly. If it’s off center or a little sideways it could be causing your issue. |
