Occasionally my rifle wont chamber a round when I do the following steps on my rifle... is this normal? No magazine in the gun, I pull back the charging handle to cock the trigger. I then insert the magazine. I then pull back the charging handle again to load a round, but sometimes it wont load a round. It seems like it only does this when I do it this way. BTW the magazine was jammed hard into the magwell. I promise it was in all the way. Anyone else experience this? |
| Not unheard of - I get this sometimes when I manually release the bolt with the cocking handle, I think I may ride it a bit without realizing it. So I've gotten into the habit of releasing the bolt with the bolt release of the off-side hand, ensuring full spring pressure to close the bolt. |
another thing to check is your mag's... burr's on the feed lips WILL cause the problem.
How many rounds do you load in the mag? |
|
How many mags? Are you only having problems with one. or all of them? Mark your mags with tape if they dont feed right. if you are still getting a jam something else may be off. Is it a new gun? lube it up a little more, maybe the carrier is sliding a little rough. you might have deformed the magazine by putting it in "hard" not sure why you are cocking the trigger then putting a magazine in. put your loaded magazine in point in a safe direction, pull the charging handle back and let go...... |
+1 for everything hes said. |
