    Erma Werke EM-1 Carbine

    Anyone else have one of these? I pre-inherited one from my dad. Goes bang if a bullet is placed into chamber by hand, but does not feed from the replacement magazine I bought from Numrich.

    I owned one for several years and I sold it to a friend who will keep it until he goes under. I wish I had it back. It would feed and fire anything I fed it.

    What is the cartridge doing? Is it going nose down or nose up? What kinds of ammunition have you tried?

    Y'know, I'm going to check to see exactly what it was doing. It's been over a year since I had it out.

    For ammunition, I used various CCI Mini-Mag, Stinger, etc, and some Federal and Remington.
    As I recall, we had no trouble shooting from the original '60's magazine, but this was lost in 2002 when we moved across the country. That may be the problem. However, I don't think the thing has been really well-cleaned in ...I don't know, decades?
