scottb Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Looking for some input.I have an FEG PKJ-9HP 9MM ( Think Browning Hi-power form factor).I bought this gun used. Had issues when I first bought it with the spent round partially extracted from barrel, but the next fresh round will jam against the partially extracted case. It would not jam after every shot, but at least after 3 shots.I have a friend with a properly functioning Browning Hi-power ( the parts interchange)and I was able to try his mags, barrel and recoil spring in my FEG. Still same result. I tried different brands of 9MM ammo. I throughly cleaned the gun, took the slide apart and cleaned some crude from the extractor spring area. I thought the crude was the cause.Gun still only partially extracted the spent casing. Since I figured i needed a new extractor and spring and was not sure exactly sure how to "fit" the extractor, I ended up taking the gun to a gunsmith, who replaced the extractor, extractor spring and put a "relief" cut in the end of the barrel. ( that pissed me off but he said he does this to all his 1911's). The gun functioned properly when I picked up the gun, I was able to fire 28 rounds without an issue. So I was feeling good at spending $75 for parts and labor. Cleaned gun and put into safe.Today was the first time I was able to take the gun to the range since I picked it up from gunsmith, about 2 months ago. After the third shot, gun is back to partially extracting spent rounds.I did not have a camera with me at the range, but i was able to almost recreate what was happening and take pictures at home. And now, inside the slide, I am noticing some scrape marks that i did not notice before.So, either the extractor and or spring still needs some attention, or maybe a weak recoil spring, now that the extractor is belived to be functioning properly?Pics below:Spent round partially extracted:Marks on inside of slide that I did not notice before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprez55 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 It might also be too strong of a return spring and the slide is shutting too close, feed ramp or a few other things I can think of unfortunately (if I am understanding the problem correctly). What weight return spring do you have in there now, is there any damage to the case when its finally extracted or any differences from a properly extracted case or excessive copper fouling on the feed ramp? Also, can you hand cycle it fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Unknown on the return spring, I did not replace this, probably original to the gun. Not sure on copper fouling, but this gun does seem to get dirty quickly.Extracts and ejects properly by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I spent $500 on a Browning Hi-power that jammed all the time. Sold it. 2 years later bought a beautiful blued $700 Browning Hi-power that jammed all the time. I will never own one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on copper fouling, but this gun does seem to get dirty quickly.Extracts and ejects properly by hand.Hand cycling usually doesn't tell too much, but I figured it was worth a shot! What does the brass look like? Even though it was worked on I still am not ruling out the extractor (general lack of trust towards people maybe?) but my gut tells me mag. I know you said you tried your friend's mags, but how do yours feel, do the feed lips look bent or do they retain the round well? I have heard the same issues from FEG guns before, they don't cycle well, but I don't know a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
