First screw up while cleaning.... > Maintenance & Cleaning

As I'm putting my carbine back together earlier, I'm about to put the bolt back into the carrier... I see only two gas rings on the bolt

One of them is GOA

I had a buddy have a consistent failure to eject after failure to eject. Start looking at things, he couldn't figure it out. I take a look and find...that he put his bolt on backwards after cleaning it last.

I swear to newborn baby jesus, his extractor was facing the wrong direction.

ETA: Alright, I just pulled out my Bushy and it wouldn't work. All I can say is that his was a DPMS and as such might not have been 100% in spec. Next time I'm over there I'll check it again and post pics. Maybe he did take a GD hammer to the thing...knowing him, who knows.
