| Has anyone ever had factor amo do a slam fire. I had that happen tonite I just want to make sure I do not have another problem. |
| Had my Semi auto browning 1919 do a 3 round slam fire burst. The sear spring was weakened to the point that the hammer would not cock when the bolt came back and the firing pin would stay engaged and when it came back forward. It would always hit the primer and not set the round off but one time it did twice in a row and ran away on me. Easy fix, just bend the spring back a little so the tension is greater. |

Since you have a Match type trigger, it's very possible you're having trigger problems which are causing "slam fires".
In a rife with a defective trigger assembly, or one which is not adjusted properly, what may happen is when the bolt and carrier close, the impact may cause the hammer to fail to stay cocked or be held by the disconnecter. When this happens, the impact "jars" the hammer off and it drops on the firing pin, firing the rifle. There are two basic causes of "slam firing":. 1. Is usually defective ammo with a high primer, a fouled chamber, stuck firing pin, or a defective slam fire prevention system is bad. These cause the slamming bolt or firing pin to actually impact the primer and fire it. 2. A defective trigger group allowing the hammer to be jarred off from the impact of the closing bolt. You have to diagnose WHICH situation you have. In this case, I think the culprit is going to be the Jard trigger assembly. STOP SHOOTING THE GUN until you properly diagnose the exact problem and get it fixed. |
