Hi folks.  On Sunday I was shooting with some guys from my unit and we had a bit of an issue.  Some of the shots felt odd, and the trigger was a little off.  Next thing you know the bolt was held half open.  Everything seems siezed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Howard

Thanks for the help!

Ive been tapping it like you said to get the bolt carrier forward and its almost there.  

One primer has already fallen out....

I wouldn't be surprised to see more since its still jammed up.

I remember seeing an ad for a fcg cover that is supposed to prevent that from happening however I cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

How about some info on the ammo that blew the primers. You might want check out the rifle if the ammo fired fine from everyone elses weapons, could be a bolt or chamber dimension problem.

I had bought a small batch of UAE ammo for a price I couldn't pass up.  I went into the deal knowing about the possible problems that existed with the this ammo, which is why I bought a small batch.  Needless to say, the issue of blown primers reared its ugly head.  I was getting the same symptoms as you were, with the trigger functioning in odd ways.  Didn't lock up the carrier, but did lock up the trigger.

Crap ammo leads to big problems. Use decent ammo. Cheap ammo is that for a reason.

These are where the primers came from.

I won't be using these anytime soon.http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p207/duckhoward/DSC06726Medium.jpg
