    Thanks for all of the feedback!

    There was a click, but there was no mark on the cartridge from the firing pin. Kind of like a dry fire. As I stated above I believe that I created the second problem, or cartridge into the chamber, but I'm not 100% sure. I am not freaking out by any means about what happened yet, but I don't have any other mags yet. I do have 5 pmags en route though. I could always use more time and ammo. I get 100 free rounds of 223 and .40 cal a month from work. I placed an order at Streichers for a case of the lake city 556 but its on back order, possibly 30-60 days I guess. Thanks for all of the info guys I do appreciate it.

    There are lots of other places that have ammo in stock that you could get to check the weapon. Just saying.

    I do have some more ammo I just didn't have it with me. Unfortunately I am not a bachelor and I am happy whenever I can get some trigger time. My opportunities will go up when the weather gets a little better here in wi. Of course I have a baby due in a month which will not help. I do the best I can brother

    Online. Cabelas has quite a bit, as do the other usual suspects. Plus, I believe that he is an LEO or something which means he can get in on that ammo over at GT Distributors. When I checked the site that other day it said in stock ready to ship.

    Probably a bad round. Ever figure it out?

    It was one of my last 3 rounds. I loaded it back up and shot it without a failure

    Apologies, this is incorrect, for some reason I had a brain-fart and was thinking about a different platform. The AR most certainly will drop the hammer even if not in battery, however the shape of the BCG prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin until fully in battery.

    It's one of those weird in-between stoppages that results in an inline double-feed if TRB is conducted as explained by Iraqgunz.

    I have seen this linked to bad magazines. I don't know what about the mag caused the stoppage, but it was rectified when the mag was removed from the training cycle.

    Go and see what Farm & Fleet has in stock. They were having a sale on .223 but I don't know how you feel about the caliber and the fact that it's UMC. I've fired many rounds of it down range with no problems..It should tied you over until you get what you ordered...
