I went to the shooting range today and ran into a problem I have never seen before with my AR 6.8SPC. It wasn’t ejecting spent shells.
I quit that rifle and finished the day shooting my .308.
Got home tonight and looked at the 6.8. The bolt had a firm grip on the brass but it was trying to throw it the wrong way....jamming it against the wall of the upper receiver. WTH! I took the bolt carrier apart and re-indexed the bolt 180 degrees and now it works fine. I have never had this happen before. Have y’all?

That’s how it’s supposed to be but if things are out of spec like I imagine the op has, then it can go in wrong.
