Wife and I were out shooting and she had three or four malfunctions without any discernable pattern to them. Because we have never really had any issues before, I figured I'd ask the group for their ideas.
Rifle is a BCM 11.5" carbine upper with fixed FSB. LMT enhanced carrier with a BCM OEM bolt, A5H4 buffer, and Sprinco green buffer spring. Shooting suppressed with a Silencer Co. Omega 300 with Wolf steel case ammo in a Gen 2 windowed PMAG.
For the record, this rifle has multiple hundreds of rounds of this exact ammo through it. Suppressor has not been used for all those rounds but this is also NOT the first time out with the can on it. I don't typically clean the rifle but it is always generously lubed with ALG or Slip 2000.
The malfunction was a failure to extract with the empty casing being pulled roughly 1/2" out of the chamber and a new round stripped from the mag and wedged into the feed ramp under the spent case. I can see extractor claw marks on the rim of the case but the case never got pulled all the way out.
I have already done what I think will solve the issue but am curious on others thoughts.
How would you fix this issue if the rifle were yours?
