OK I was at the range last weekend out plinking with some of my family and we where all having a ball with my AR! Everything was flawless, not a miss feed or jam, all was good! Well for about the first 120 rounds or so...
Then my girlfriend went to shoot it and she pulled the trigger and the gun fully cycled just fine! Shot the bullet, extracted the spent cartridge, and re-cocked itself. She went to pull the trigger one more time and *tink* nothing happened except the hammer dropped. I though OK maybe it was a "dud primer" so i extracted it by re-cocking it via the charge handle, it ejected the unspent cartridge and re-chambered the new bullet. It shot again and next shot it didn't shoot!!! Ugh its so frustrating! it did it probably a dozen times...
So at the range i totally field stripped the gun, lubed up the bolt, the carrier, everything and it seemed to help for a few rounds because i got about 5 shot off and then started misfiring again. I checked the firing pin, its ok. I also totally soaked the buffer spring in solvent and brushed it to remove any carbon and also dumped a ton of oil inside the buffer tube to maybe allow it to flow better...
I dont know what to do. Do i need a new spring? or what? Please help some one! Thanks so much!!
