Saint Pistol 7.5" Jamming Issues

Are you getting empty casings stuck in chamber after firing? If so, break down your bcg and check if there's an o-ring on the extractor spring. If not, add one, and report back.

Has anyone else had any issues with their 7.5" pistol jamming? Literally the 1st round I put through it locked up the bolt, the round stuck in the chamber? I have tried this with 3 different types of ammo, and run the 3 other types of each lot that was jamming through my other AR and it ran perfectly, so this is definitely not an ammo issue, this is a gun issue. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this, and is this something that I can send the AR Pistol back to Springfield for a re-work. I did find a video on YouTube from Honest Outlaw and he was having the exact same issue, but he did not provide a remedy of what he did. Hoping for some help.

Thank You

When I first shot my saint pistol (when they first came out), I tried six different brands/ weights of ammo. My pistol will not cycle wolf 62grain Fmj. The extractor just rips a chunk out of the steel case rim. The gas system on this pistol needs hot ammo, like 62gr nato in my experience. I’ve stayed away from steel case with this pistol. Mine prefers 62gr over 55gr as far as accuracy is concerned. I think a lot of the Russian fare is under gassed for such a short gas tube.
