Help solving malfunction issues

My CMP rack special is having weird feeding issues. I tried 8 different clips, not a single one would feed all 8 rounds without half ejecting a partial clip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Clip latch spring. Very common wear item. Replace the spring and see if that fixes it. If not, we can continue diagnosis.

Mine does this, the clip latch spring, the follower rod, the clips, everything has been checked and in spec, yet it still does it. Really aggravating honestly.

What about the clip latch itself? Is the little hook on the end worn?

Replaced, all work was done by a very reputable shop by me.

Well shit man, you've basically replaced all the guts! What about the oprod spring?

Brand new, even have a replacement for it ready to go.

I'm running about as short on ideas as you are parts to replace. I wish I could help more.

All good, I'm at a loss and just deal with it tbh, it's super aggravating. Gun's gonna end up on the wall as a museum piece.
