Had A new Malfunction the other day... or atleast Ive never had one like this before. Im suspecting out of spec round but Id like to see what you guys think. I was using the usual military surplus M193.
Shot several rounds (about 56 already) without a hitch and decided to give it a break. I was just about to clear the weapon when I noticed the bolt wasnt engaged all the way in. At first I thought it was an over-expanded casing as I couldnt pull the CH.
Hit the forward assist to get to close all the way in. Took a bit of a thumb push but it did. CH still wouldnt pull back all the way, just up to the same position I found it in (The carrier being over 1/4" from fully closed). Pushed Forward assist again which took more force the second time then took it apart. Once upper and lower were separated, the BCG fell back rather easily and was surprised to find an unfired round eject.
DIdnt see anything too unusual about it but also had no way of measuring it to confirm.
Fired about 90 rounds of the same ammo after that without any other issues.
