Yesterday I took my son with me to the range as we were going to test out my first batch of reloads and a little bit of wolf 55gr FmJ.
My son really wanted to shoot first (we only brought 1 AR, my "beater") and the range was absolutely mobbed and I don't like it when its crowded. He puts the first mag (my reloads) and it does not send a round downrange but I do see it has a light primer strike after he pulls the charging handle to eject this round. At this point I attribute it to something not right with the reloads and I tell him to take the mag out, clear the chamber and try some wolf and it happens again with the wolf 55gr FMJ., I tell him to clear the AR again as and we'll pack up the AR until we can figure it out and go over to the other side of the range and shoot handguns. I really wish I had brought a 2nd AR but I really wanted to test out the reloads and let my son have some range time and I didn't want to bring a whole lot of stuff that trip. So I'm driving the hour and a half back to the house and I am trying to figure out what caused this. What I'm thinking is that it has to be a weak hammer spring. This sound like a hammer spring problem? |

If it is and nothing else seems out of place replace it and try again. |
