Hi All
Thanks for the replys, the but slap fixed it in one whack (not even a hard one).
Yes the round was live, some one mentioned it's not a good idea to do what I did. I would agree 99% of the time.
To restate Iwas at my shotting spot, safe back drop out door area. The upper is new and never been fired, I wanted to cycle a few rounds to make sure the whole system worked together.... and it didn't, at that time I was afrade to fire the rife, being new (both the rife and me) I figured I'd ask first. As always safty on, and not being real familar with the internal working I did not want to mess with the hot gun.
As for the cause, I'm still not 100% sure, the round's factory but old, it did have a dent on top of it, deformed?
After the jam was cleared I tried to reload (to actualy shoot this time!) but the rifle will not put a round to battery, it skips off the top of the buller in the mag. I looked at that bullet and it's got a big dent in it also, from the bolt scraping the top of it.
I ran out of daylight at that point, so I'll test some other mags later, this might have been the culprit.
