Found something interesting inside my Lage upper

[D-boy]

M11/9 w/Max-11.

I found a live 9mm round inside the upper behind the bolt. It had a sharp dent on one side of the casing, halfway up the casing, perpendicular to the axial.

The gun was disassembled, cleaned, fired at the range, brought home, disassembled and I found the round. At no other time was the upper removed from the lower. I have the Viper-9 locking ring on it, which needs to be removed to take the gun apart, so I only remove the upper for cleaning.

Any ideas?

My guess would be you are using a Zytel mag' with worn feedlips. A round popped out, fell into the lower receiver while a second round advanced in time for it to be picked up by the bolt.

There was a photo here of an M-11/9 firing with empties and an un-fired round coming out the ejection port. Possibly, yours just didn't make it out the ejection port and went down instead.

Wow! Must have been bouncing around in just the right place for the gun to keep running.

I see that all the time ROing the matches. People slap in the mag and 1-2 live rounds pop out the ejection port

Got that on video. First round jumps right out the ejection port. Here ya go:

Sometimes when I sleep with mine under my pillow that happens.

Had it happen several times myself - 2 of the three were spent but I did end up with 1 live round. In my particular case I do beleive it was from smackin' the mag up.
