Disclaimer: I would first and foremost like to say that this was not at fault of the gun, but the rds being fired.
I was shooting several rds that my dad had reloaded for me which included rainier 165gr bullets with 7.0gr of unique as well as 6.5 of the same. I loaded up my mags with some that had been loaded with the wnchester 231 powder, 6.1gr. as i was doing "controled pair" drills. I fired two rds in the chest and went for a headshot and there was a click, so going off my trainning I racked the slide and started to fire again, another click, same thing again. So then I looked down at the slide and the slide was out of battery. So after dissassembly i discovered that there was a rd half way down the barrel just sitting in there. Damn it!
Easy fix though i came straight home and removed the stuck rd and there seems to be no problems with any other part. I am just glad that the pistol didn't go into battery, and fire another rd i would've been FUBAR, and my gun too. The biggest bummer was that i took 250rds and only got to shoot 100 but hey that's what next week is for i guess!
So question: everything looks ok, there dosen't seem to be any bulges, looking down the barrel everything seems like normal. So Is my barrel and pistol alright? Is there anything else i should do to ensure that it good to go? I have never experinced anything like this before. i have had a piece of brass stuck in my ak, but no a bullet in the barrel. any suggestions? thanks guys!
