| When firing rapidly, or bump firing, some times my Olympic Arms ar will load a round into the chamber but when you pull the trigger nothing happens. I have to pull the bolt back and load a new round and it is fine. I can load the round up that didnt fire and it will fire fine. Also it usually leaves the last round in the mag and set the bolt back. I figured this is just my crappy mags but I am not sure. It has done this with both Wolf and winchester white box. Sorry if something similar has been covered, but I couldnt get the search to return any thing useful for me. |
Could you point me to those threads. Still not having luck with the search. This rifle as had maybe 1500 - 2000 rounds through it by the way. EDIT:the round that didnt fire have a slight mark from the firing pin hitting them. |
BINGO - this is a problem with bump firing... you are tripping the trigger before the bolt is fully locked in place, and so the hammer falling prematurely. The dent on the primer is normal, and nothing to do with this problem. If you must bump fire, work on your technique. Do not go looking for a problem with your rifle - chances are its 100%. |
Alright, Thank you, I just wanted to make sure that something wasnt wrong. I just had to urge to try the bump firing out. I usually am a lot more convservitive with my ammo ;) |
nope, it's timing issue that only shows up when he bumps, the hammer should NEVER drop while the bolt is closing, if the hammer does then the timing is wrong. It doesnt' show up manually or slow fire bc the cause is the hammer hook hitting the top of the disconnector and knocking it out of engagement and the middle hammer hook missing the disco when the hammer goes forward. |
