Here's a new one for me. My MP5 clone started having ejection issues. Gun would go "click" and when I pull the mag out a casing and a round would fall out of the receiver. Round would have the bullet crushed into the casing on the unfired round, leading me to think the spent round was getting in the way and the unfired round was crushing against the face of the chamber.
Replaced the extractor and extractor spring with a new brass one from HK Parts. Initially, it was going good, then last week this started happening randomly.
I'm not even sure what part of the receiver it is crushing against, but these are mangled. Had like 4 of them in three different mags (2 curved, 2 straight). If it isn't the extractor or extractor spring, then what could it be? Ejector? I also noticed that this happens more often when I fill the prebans full. I've since been only loading to 20-25 rounds and that seems to help.
Anyway, as much as I love this gun, I also kind of hate the reliability. No flat nose and now this.
