I can?t get it to run without chocking on at least one round every magazine or two.
Or if there are kits that can help tune it up let me know. It?s stock so far and extremely frustrating.

36, or 40 gr?

1) after market mags are mostly junk
2) polish the mag feed lips to remove any burrs. I use steel wool. Disassemble and clean the track where the button slides.
3)Try cci copper washed. The cci ar or mini mags are great choices.
4) volquartsen and tandemkross make great after market parts.

Soooo?. I broke the gun down and the slide was caked on. Honestly I don?t remember cleaning it last. Clean slide and the thing ran excellent with hi vel. And ok with bulk Remington 1200 fps standard ammo. Some of the Rem bullets liked to jam against the feed ramp. It?s like they made the ramp a smidge too short. Or the mags got grimy. The Remington is junky but 300 rounds and was still going well.
The mag disconnect is another story though.
