The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Question: How common ar FTE's/Stovepipes/Jams in general?

Shot 75 rounds approximately through my 92fs, no jams, stovepipes or anything. It functioned flawlessly, even with a brand new shooter. Bad ammo was most assuredly the cause of my previous issues.

Did have one FTF on my shotgun though, something was wrong with the shell. It had the indent and was struck so I tried it again, click and another dent, no fire. Every other round worked perfectly, so once again, bad ammo I'm assuming.

Things like that are why I'm baffled that people never have a FTE/FTF, as I've had several I'm confident were all bad ammo and beyond my control.
