Need some ideas on what may have caused this problem. The details are a little fuzzy because I didn't have time to stop and pay attention to what was going on during this course of fire.
What happened was I fired a round, the case extracted and then the bolt got hung up. I tapped the mag and the bolt closed and fed a round. Fired, same thing happened again. Tapped the mag, bolt closed and fed a round and then no further issues for the rest of the day. This was on my third mag or so. Shot probably 150 rounds or so that day, so it happened pretty much square in the middle of the session.
So that almost sounds like it was short stroking (ammo? no reason to suspect the gas system yet, it has been solid so far) but it still managed to feed a round. I suppose the mag might not have been seated, but twice? It was an old USGI mag.
Just trying to understand what may have been going on.
Thanks
