    as others have said and not to beat a dead horse, move that scope cap.

    No need to get testy about it. Only two of you really addressed the malfunction & how to clear it. Most of the discussion has centered on the ammo & possible interference of the aimpoint cap. The two of you that addressed clearing the malfunction, had differing opinions. Hence my request for a more comprehensive discussion on malfunctions & clearance methods.

    Thanks for the link. The cap is already gone. As I mentioned earlier, I recently switched to the KAC T1 mount from an ADM. The ADM has a larger base and made the cap ride higher above the ejection port. It never occurred to me that the new mount would cause an obstruction of the ejection port. Lesson learned.

    The basic recognized method is to lock the bolt to the rear, clear the brass and rechamber another round. Or at least that is how I remember it. I can't remember the last time I had a real malfunction.

    Dawg, I found the other article I was thinking of for you:

    M4/M4A1 Carbine Reliability Issues Part II: Diagnosing the root cause.

    http://www.defensereview.com/m4m4a1-...he-root-cause/

    It is more detailed explaining how to clear your stove pipe. Others have discussed it here as well. Hope it helps.

    P.S. Your carbine looks good.

    Not getting testy...people disagree that is why I suggested you experiment yourself and see what works for you.
