No, this gun has not been modified. It is factory LMT all the way, nothing has been touched except for fieldstripping for cleaning.Doesn't impress me as an ammo problem first. LMT isn't one of the usual suspects, either. Any "improvements" or mods to the gun? More info/diagnosis required here.
I just thought it unusual that the blue box BH hung up in the magazine when the bolt tried to pick it up and chamber it. I had to retract the bolt and drop it a second time to get the round to feed. Seemed a bit...unusual...
Plus, the couple of light primer strikes made me wonder if there was an issue with the ammo or the gun...but, like I said, the rifle functioned flawlessly with UMC 55 grn FMJ...
And, no, I'm not going to send it in...I appreciate that ya'll have had great experience's with BH customer service, though. I'm going to keep the rest as a sample, and likely will not purchase any BH blue box .223 in the future unless they improve. I'm going to wait until I get a micrometer to do some measurements about the length and such...
I'd still like to hear if anyone else has had similar problems...
