@DonFlynn,
My apologies if I dragged your topic off in to the weeds. It wasn't my intention.
I do appreciate your review of the Korean mags.
The description of your shoot and how they worked for you is helpful.
Even to those of us who don't own them. 
Looks like your 'HowaChester' was printing well.

What ammo did you use today ?

Thx Don,
Charlie-P777

PS: I see a Painting project in your future Wink

No worries. I used Korean surplus, I've still got 1000 rounds I'm willing to shoot this year before I worry about a restock (I've 3500 rounds Armscor and S&B as stash ammo) 

The Howachester saw a Fulton Armory rebuild last year, new bolt, barrel and replaced worn springs as needed. The FTE this time was the 1st in a year according to my records (I keep a log on all my guns).

It's my main "shooting" Carbine and shows 2975 rounds since the rebuild with 5 FTE's. The 1st 4 I figured were ammo, I had some Aquila .30 carbine last summer that's underpowered IMO and always caused me problems any Carbine I shot it out of.

This one I figure mag, either that or I forgot to lube the bolt a bit before I shot it. I always run my Carbines "wet" and had tried shooting it the 4th of July week but got rained out and figured it should still have been "wet" on the bolt

Had several failures to feed yesterday with the U stamped Korean in the new to me Midway Underwood.  It may be the Underwood, but old LU and K-S'G' that came with it had no FTFs.
All the FTFs were in the middle 5 shot loads, either 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
I'll manually cycle a bunch of dummer rounds later to see if I can get a FTF  that way.
My thinking is that if its the magazine's lips or position, an FTF will occur whether manual cycled automaticly cycled.  But if its only FTFing when fired, then its more likely the rate and force of the slide and bolt.

I have the snapshot pics but haven't learned how to upload pictures to this forum yet but if anyone is interested in seeing them, I can easily email them to you. I just thought it was so odd and I had never seen or heard of that before so I just remembered keeping the snap shots to it and then reading this thread joggled my memory

This mag is EXACTLY the same as my two uu marked KCI 30's that I got from J&G supply. Wouldn't it seem that KCI simply puts some USGI-like markings on their mags?
