Can you post a photo?
And how you joined in September when it’s still August? |

Besides it being an Anderson product, have you been dry firing it extensively?

Might have just been a substandard firing pin.

Maybe it was not quite right or there was some tolerance stacking and the firing pin was wrong and the bolt was a little off 2.
You could contact where you bought it and they have you try another one. And maybe try moving it in place and seeing if a lot of drag. Any weird scratch marks on side of pin parts? |
