I got one of these pistols a few months ago and I'm having problems with it feeding a round into the chamber.
It seems the round is catching on the feed ramp and jamming. Has anyone had this problem before with either the pistol or rifle?
Any info helpful.

Strange this post didn't get any responces?
But I sent it to Bushmaster so they could look at it.
I'll post what I can incase someone else has this problem in the future.

What kind of ammo are you useing? FMJ, JHP, SP? Are you using mil spec mags?
What I am thinking is that your bullets arent getting stuck per sae, but that either your buffer spring is way too weak to push thru the jam, or your mag lips are not to spec and making it hard for a round to strip.
If you want more helpful info, post this in the General AR forum as that is the one most people go to. Posting stuff in brand specific forums does nothing but yeild no answers.

I had the same problem with mine, I was using GI gi mags, so those are not at fault, I'd say it was either the ammo (olympic ss109) or the cold weather

For the ammo I was using Winchester FMJ. For the mags I was using the factory 10 rnd and a GI 30 rnd I got from Tapco, an LEO one.
I got it back from Bush Master on Thursday, they reground the feed ramps. I took to the range and fired 20 rnds through it without any problems. Hope this doesn't happen again, I like this gun.
I want to thank Bush Master, they didn't charge anything for this. Just had to pay shipping.
And I want to thank you guys for posting your suggestions.
If someone thinks this should go to the General Discussion forum please do so, I'm not sure how to do this.
Thanks again

Np, I hope they fixed it. Bushmaster has great CS and PR people. Fire another 100 rounds and if dosent mess up I say your safe. After that, e-mail Bushy and thank em, cuz they love hearing back from customers unlike Colt and some other companies. I was just saying to post it in general Ar because thats where most people frequent. Since you got replies here then dont worry about it. Besides, only admins can move threads.
