  2. Push feed and controlled feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_feed_and_controlled_feed

    Most push feed mechanisms use a spring loaded plunger type of ejector situated at the breech face, and this system ejects the spent casing as soon as the case mouth clears the ejection port. [9] Most controlled feed mechanisms use a fixed mechanical ejector attached to the receiver, which results in the bolt having to be pulled all or almost ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor_(firearms)

    Most modern extractors are forceful enough to completely eject the casing from the gun (i.e. integrating the function of an ejector), but some require the user to manually remove spent cartridges. In this situation, the extractor loosens and moves the case out of the chamber just far enough to allow the user to grab and pull out the casing, but ...

    Rim lock is where the rim of the shell casing gets caught on the extractor groove of the casing underneath it. It is a common issue for calibers with large rims, such as 7.62×54mmR, or guns that have been rechambered for cartridges shorter than intended without replacing the original magazine with one that compensates for the shorter round.

  5. Gas-operated reloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-operated_reloading

    Direct impingement operation increases the amount of heat that is deposited in the receiver while firing, which can burn off and cover up lubricants.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_&_Wesson_Model_29

    The original Model 29 was superseded by the Model 29–1 in 1960, with modifications made to the ejector-rod screw. The Model 29-2 replaced it the following year, with one screw that had secured the cylinder-stop spring being deleted.
