I am not sure if this is a normal occurance on a new rifle (AR15) or not.
I was at the range last Saturday shooting this recent addition to my collection. The RO call for the range to go cold. I removed the magazine and ejected the chambered round. I picked up this round and noticed that the primer had a very light firing pin strike. The RO let everyone know that the range was hot again so I inserted the magazine and charged the rifle with the charging handle. I remove the magazine and ejected the chambered round and again noticed a very light pin strike on the primer.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Could this be the result of a bolt problem or the buffer spring, being new, is slamming the bolt closed with more force than one would expect?
Thoughts?
