This is a friends new m3k. Loading 1 shell is fine, anymore than that this happens about every 5th time. Any idea on what its hanging up on and what I can do to get it going?

Thanks!

No issues with the spring? A burr of some kind where the extension threads on? Dimple on inside of mag tube?

In the video, it looks like you failed to push the first shell far enough into the tube to get the edge past the opening...
In the video, after the second shell is loaded, it appears that after you’re finished, the second shell is seated deeper in the tube than the first one was.
Maybe try seating the first one deeper before trying to load the second one...
I don’t own an m3k, I am just looking at the video...

Not that I can find. I polished the inside of the mag tube and it didn't seem to help. I did put a small bend in the lifter and that has helped a good bit, but its still not perfect.

Its not that I'm not pushing it far enough, thats as far as it will go. It just stops there.
