Hi there, decided to make a profile here after lurking for a few years because I just got a brand new KMP M2HB semi-auto build and I'm having some trouble with it.
Gun came in to me today and I just got it assembled and tried to test fire it after assembling it per the instructions sent with it from KMP plus watching multiple Marine Corps and Army training videos. Gun is assembled correctly and headspaced.
On a side note I am familiar with Browning style belt-fed machine guns I have two M1919A4s that run perfectly. These issues with the M2HB are different than any I've ever had with the M1919s.
I'm having an issue where it won't fire more than one round. It won't pull the links over after the first shot unless I manually push it over until it clicks on the feed pawl. The feed pawl is not moving over the next linked round of ammunition.
The shell casing is also sticking in the bolt face at the rearward most portion of the travel on the bolt when it does fire a round and not ejecting the spent casing downward until I manually pull the charging handle to the rear several times.
I spent about 45min trying to get it to work with no luck. I ran about half a can of Rem oil on all the parts as well to try to help it get lubed up.
Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm really trying to get this working by tomorrow for my 4th of July party.
Thanks.
