Videos tagged with Failure to Load

This video from Tactical Fellowship demonstrates how a 'tips up' feeding malfunction, particularly with the last round in a magazine, can be indicative of a worn-out magazine spring. The instructor shows a direct comparison between a magazine with an old spring causing failures and one with a fresh spring functioning correctly, highlighting the importance of maintaining magazine springs for reliable firearm operation.

This video addresses persistent 'Failure to Load' (FTL) issues in firearms, moving beyond common causes like recoil springs and handload crimping. The instructor, experiencing FTLs throughout a season, identifies bent feed lips on a magazine as a critical, often overlooked, cause. The content emphasizes visual inspection of magazines and suggests repurposing damaged magazines for malfunction drills.

This video addresses a common "Failure to Load" (FTL) issue experienced with a Springfield XD pistol, attributed to an aftermarket 17-pound Wolf Springs recoil spring. The presenter demonstrates how this spring, when paired with a 1911-style guide rod, fails to return the slide fully into battery, causing malfunctions. He contrasts this with the stock Springfield recoil spring, which allows proper slide function. The solution involves replacing the aftermarket spring with the factory original to resolve FTLs.
