Hey,
I was shooting my Ar at the range today...I shot about 130 rounds at the 50 and moved over to the 100. I was up to about 900 rounds trouble free until today.
On my first mag at the 100 I dropped the bolt on a full 30 pmag M2. When I squeezed the trigger I heard the hammer drop, but no boom.
I dropped the mag and pulled back on the charging handle, but it was plain stuck.
I was able to take the upper off and saw that the bolt was not in battery. I could push it into battery with some force, and I can pull it back about a quarter inch before it won't go any further.
Edit: I know there is a round in there because exactly 1 is missing from my box. I was shooting my reloads. R-P brass 1 time fired, 24 grains H335 55 grain Hornady FMJBT
Gun is assembled by me....Daniel defense upper with DPMS forward assist. Daniel Defense full auto carrier and DD bolt. Daniel Defense M4 profile 16" CHF chrome lined barrel.
I was thinking about spraying Ballistol down the muzzle and taking a wooden dowel and rubber mallet to tap the back portion of the bolt carrier....does this sound like a bad idea?
