I have a DPMS LRT SASS that has apx. 200 rnds. of federal eagle through it. last time at hte range I started to experience a failure to eject. Field stripped the bolt/carrier group did not notice any problems. later while more completely cleaning, I noticed the gas rings on the bolt were "timed" wrong (the gaps lined up). took it out he next day put 20 rnds through and it ran fine. My questions are 1) why did the rings move by themselves? ( I am aware of why they are there and casually looked at them last time I cleaned). 2) is there a way to prevent this from occurring again? 3) my friends son was home from the CORPS and when I asked him (he was an armorer/assistant? at one time) he said that the weapon should still function and related a story how his operated under similar circumstances. So, will this cease to be a cause for malfunction once the weapon is "broken in" more? Thanks in advance Fc2 |
The rifle is extracting fine. It appears that the spent brass is not clearing the front of the ejection port. However, it is still able to strip a new round from the magazine. Sooooo, I end up w/ a live round and spent case trying to feed. |

Had the same problem on my new LR 308. Sent it into DPMS. Came back working fine. They told me the smith identified the problem and fixed it. I got the gun back and no problems anymore. Unfortunately they did not tell me what the problem was. Either way, if you can't get a resolution give them a call. |
