You need to build up the finger lever with TIG weld to help make sure it brings the carrier up high enough to block the next round from popping out onto the carrier. If you can't TIG weld, it is better to send it back or take it to a smith to fix it.

The finger lever's job is to raise the carrier up slightly when the round pops out onto it catching the next round before it has time to come out. The finger lever is the easiest of the timing factors to adjust and you won't have to build it up but slightly to get the timing right for the shorter rounds. If you can handle the job and need more help understanding, ask me a question if you want to. It isn't a hard job to do if you know how to weld. Good luck with it.
