I was shooting my AK-74 semi auto and had a ammo problem. I had a failure to feed and I pulled the mag to check the problem. I noticed that the top cartridge was loose and not at the top of the feed lips. I then found something binding the follower and found it was a crushed primer.
I then pulled the gun apart and found another primer. I checked the gun over and it looked good.
I found the two cases and there was no primers in the pocket. I put it back together and put another 10 rounds though it with no problems.
I have over 200 rounds through this gun and never had a problem.
I was thinking it might have been the ammo. Something not set right with the primers?
You can see the two primers and some others cases i fired after in the Pic.
Any other thoughts on why this happened?
