    First malfunction today....

    Around 2,200 rounds through this rifle (hasnt been cleaned once). Its fairly new. I had a double feed, but when I dropped the Mag. and cleared it, charged it and the new round went in no problem...click. Dropped the Mag. and tried to open the bolt it was stuck, cleared that one too. You can see the scratch it left up by the gas tube. Crazy. Kinda bummed, this is the FIRST time I have cleaned my rifle...wanted to get more through it.

    .

    I think Double-Feeds indicate a mag problem. You probably deformed the cartridge and then it hung up in the chamber?

    How did you unstick the stuck cartridge?

    .

    i loob with mobile 1, but in the field i re-loob with a CLP-like lubricant. i've got my own mix of stuff that i use, a little thicker than CLP, but CLP is totally fine for a re-loober. every 300-500 rounds i'll squirt some into the carrier holes and on the bolt... all through the ejection port.

    i think he means live round on spent round, not double feed. which would correlate to the stuck case he had immediately after.

    Both. Not mixed of course. For drills and Reload practice I use steel. For long range or any kind of groups I use brass
