| I fired 200 rounds threw my new Armalite today. My first 3 mags were rough to say the least I had 4 FTF, 3 incidents were the next round was not picked up out of the mag. The Bolt stuck closed, twice. I was thinking I got a lemon. The next 4 mags ran without a malfunction.(even in rapid fire) I used all Factory ammo (UMC and Wolf)I had 3 Pmags,3 C product mags (all 30)and a C product 20 rounder.The only thing I noticed that the mags had in common was that on the 3 were the next round was not picked up, it was the pmags. I dont think it was the ammo or the mags. I did own a Colt Hbar that was new and never had a malfunction. Is this common with a new Ar ? Break in Period ? Should I be concerned ? |

Becareful of the UMC ammo. There has been some problems with it and I believe that there was one post here of having a Kaboom. I have some and noticed that not all shots sound the same. So far out of 200 rounds I have had several that did not sound right. I broke my ar down and looked down the barrel just to be sure. Once I finish up with the UMC ammo I will not buy any more of it. |
