I shtand corrected, spoke with Brock and said the last batch of LMT's all had taper pins...that kinda puts them at the head of the class for full Mil features, guess I'm gonna be dipping into the old Omega Seamaster fund.:eek:
 
I posted a quick pic of my AR in my orginial thread......

I shot this rifle on sunday, doin the recommended break in. Shoot one round and clean it for the first 10 rounds. When I was doin single shots it was fine but when I went to 10 rounds it had weird issues, the bolt wouldnt lock back on the last round, then sometimes the bolt wouldn't close fully so I had to take it apart and kinda tap on the back of the bolt cuz the handle wouldn't budge, #### the hammer put it back together and pull the trigger. At this point I was very upset. But I think the real problem is the ammo I was using. I was using some cheap off brand ammo and when I switched to winchester and federal I had no problems. I even loaded 30 rounds and let them buck without issue. Which made me much happier in both the fact that the rifle functioned properly and that I could let 30 rounds fly (USA GUN). I love this rifle now, but I need to pimp it out more. LOL

Youre talking about the lil button thing by the ejection port? Yes I tired that. I tired pulling back the handle, but it wouldn't move. It was very weird, some air force guys were out shooting in my spot and they helped me. They tried everything as well with no success, hes the one that showed me that taking it apart was the only option at that point.
 
If the charging handle is stuck as well, you need to try the old buttstock-bounce.

While pulling on the charging handle, sharply tap the buttstock onto a hard surface. Not sure how to describe it, but I believe that it is the standard method of clearing an AR jam.

AMMO is likely the factor here. I've only had it once on my AR, and it was due to cheap ammo. But the buttstock-bounce sure cleared it quick!

Yea I did something similar when I had the gun apart I just kinda tapped on the back of the bolt assembly and it worked fine. I tired bouncing it on the ground but it didnt work.
