Oddly, it then started to cycle rounds, but then stopped after maybe 20 or 25 rounds. I fired a total of 250 rounds (federal 55 grain, winchester 55 grain and some american tactical 62 grain rounds that I borrowed from another shooter.) The rifle has an H buffer, BCM carrier and bolt and, well, is all BCM except for the stock and handguards. IOf those rounds, I'd say that maybe 25 cycled, the rest the action was simply closed. The bolt carrier didn't move an inch. I also fired it without a magazine and same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? Seems like a serious gas leak somewhere in the system right? Another shooter and I stripped the rifle and all looked normal. Could the H buffer or spring be too strong from the factory?
