so today I took out my new AR to be shot for the first time. Keep in mind this is only the second time I'd ever SHOT an AR. I can barely even tell you where the forward assist is. It's a Doublestar brand with Magpul stock and handguard assembled by a guy I did tradework for. Anyway,
I got through the first mag just fine. On the last round it jammed. I had to holt the bolt open while a friend cleared it. I dropped the hammer. I want to drop the bolt with the button, so I put in an empty mag and engaged the last round lock open. I inserted a fresh mag, dropped the bolt and from that point on, it would do single shot only. No ejection, at all. Single shot, manual clear, single shot.
What is the deal you think? Obviously I need to brush up better on the AR as a whole. any tips and advice about getting more comfortable? thanks.
