Default Re: 1916 Spanish Astra

Was the pistol stove piping an empty case or a unfired case?

If an empty shell doesn't eject properly, the slide either isn't opening fast enough - maybe dried up oil in the works, or the ejector is either broken short or gone.

It it's an unfired round in the ejection port, the magazine lips are too wide. Any of that help?
