Dumbass that I was, I was using a .223 round to adjust my A1 rear sight.
After I finished my adjustment, I stuck it in the mag...
Only problem was, I was shooting my 7.62x39 upper at the time...
The mag already had the correct ammo in it but wasn't loaded full.
The .223 round went on top, and was first to chamber.
Squeezed the trigger and got nothing.
Noticed the bolt wasn't fully closed so I hit the FA to close it.
Squeezed the trigger agian, and got a really weak sounding "pop", and missed a notebook paper sized target at 25yds...
It didn't extract, so I used a cleaning rod to knock out the spent case...
Out of the chamber falls a nice funky new caliber... 7.62x45 [:D]
If I can figure out how to open the ar15.com photos page,(I keep getting server error messages) I'll post a picture of the retarded looking piece of brass.
*edit to add...
Just learned that the photo server is down...
(that would explain the little red X under my username)
If anyone wants, I can email a pic if they can host it...
