I need some input please. I have a new POF-415 that has only been fired on 3 occasions to date. The first time I fired it I had recurrent failures to feed and one severe failure to extract requiring a rod from the muzzle to push out a spent case. I notified the manufacturer who told me to no longer use Wolf ammo ( had been given a case gratis). I subsequently bought a case of brass Remington surplus military 5.56 and had similar FTF problems so changed magazines as well thinking that could be the problem after the second time shooting it. Today, the third time, had recurrent FTF and extraction problems, the worst one being with the bolt being 3/4 closed. Since I was not firing the weapon at the time, I could not tell if it was a FTF or FTE problem with a live round in the chamber or a spent one that did not extract. In any case, the bolt was completely stuck and would not budge even after I dropped the magazine. The charging handle could not be retracted. The range would not permit me to leave with a possibly loaded weapon so called a gunsmith to the range who was able to tap the bolt back far enough to eject what turned out to be a spent case, however the bolt remains completely jammed and won't budge. I have never seen or heard of a malfunction like this one. I keep the firearm meticulously clean and this occurred after shooting about 150 rounds.
Any comments, advice , possible etiologies or diagnosis would be greatly appreciated. I intend to contact the manufacturer tomorrow to arrange returning it for repair.
many thanks,
Dr. Mike
