Went shooting yesterday with my friend. He has an AR-10 that kept jamming. I stopped and watched while he shot it. I noticed that the extractor would pull the empty shell out of the chamber and all the way to the rear. Then move foward and pick up the next round without kicking out the old shell.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on here? My best guess was that his ejector isn't working. When we loaded a single round and fired the rifle the empty round would get pulled out of the chamber, the bolt would move its full length without ejecting the spent casing. Then the empty would get mashed back into the chamber.
However, when i chambered a round then pulled the charging handle again the round would eject properly.
Anyone know what is causing this or who to fix it?
