Bought my first 91/30. I refinished it. Cleaned everything inside and out. Tried to load two snap caps. First one loads into the chamber and ejects nicely. One the second one comes up, it comes up at a flat angle rather than pointed a bit up like the first. So when trying to chamber the round it seems to get stuck. A good forceful push gets it into the chamber, but it's not something I'd want to do with live rounds. I haven't tested live rounds yet. Maybe that will make a difference. But I wanted to ask on this forum if anyone else has had this issue.
