Finally got the new Colt 6951 9mm AR-15 to the range the other day. Long story short, I loaded it up, pulled the trigger, and CLICK. Nada.
Ejected the round, and had a light primer strike. Figured cheap ammo, and chambered a new round. CLICK. Nada.
Ejected and same story.
Knowing what I know about Colt's record with this gun, I assumed the barrel nut was loose. Got my armorer's wrench and it was cranked down to at least 35 ft. lbs. It didn't budge.
I've cleaned out the BCG and firing pin channel. Looks like I'm getting about .06" of firing pin protrusion. What should I be expecting from this gun?
Any other places to troubleshoot? I'd rather not deal with shipping back to Connecticut for repairs since I'm in the middle of a move then out of the country for a bit. I'd just hate to wait until May to get it fixed.
Thoughts? Resources for troubleshooting a 9mm AR?
