today, I had a few failure to feeds. 3 or 4 different mags, same rifle. Not that old, 1000 -1500 rounds maybe? absolutely NEVER had any kind of issue at all that I didn't directly cause by being new.(not fully inserted mag etc)
I would drop the bolt and it would not go all the way forward. I could see the round angling upwards. of course the mag wouldn't drop, unless I helped it. pull the offending round out, slap the mag back in and it was usually good to go.
I found it more prevalent on a full mag. you could tell that the bolt didn't have enough force to strip a round and fully close the bolt. a few times it was almost closed and some forward assist got it working. A couple of times it barely got the tip of the round out of the mag.
any ideas what needs to be looked at?
thanks!
