Failure to fire - 06/21/15 09:47 PM
I need some of THF infinite wisdom.
The gun : Remington R25 AR-10, purchased used a month or two ago.
The problem: rack the slide and chambers a round.
Pull the trigger and and all I hear is a click.
Pull back on the charging handle and the round doesn't extract.
Run a cleaning rod down the barrel and the round comes out easily
There is either a very slight dimple or no marks on the primer.
This started out happening every once in a while, now happening most of the time
Unable to tell of the gun is in battery and round seated all the way.
The ammo: hand loads. 43.5 grs of 3031, Sierra game king bullet OAL 2.798"
Observations after disassembling the BCG.
Firing pin looks fine
Extractor looks fine
Everything was tight
Everything was clean
Any thoughts?
