I have a new LMT CQB MRP 16", and I just had my first malfunction. A couple weeks ago I was able to shoot 40 rounds of Remington Express Rifle 55gr 223 without a problem. I did not clean the rifle, and shot 40 more rounds today of my work practice ammo. This ammo is Lellier & Bellot FMJ/193 55gr. I see it is made in the Czech Republic. Never heard of this ammo before, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was really cheap! Duty ammo is Hornady Tap by the way, so at least they are not super cheap! Anyway, on about my 78th round I had my first malfunction. I squeezed the trigger and click, no boom. I saw that the bolt was not closed all of the way. I locked the bolt back, and saw that there was a round that slid forward to the barrel. This round was not fired. I had another round that was also in the chamber, but I think this happened when I locked my bolt back. Not sure why it happened, and thoughts? I cleared the rifle, and put the rounds back in the mag. Only 3 rounds left and they all fired.
