My NEA is breaking primers.

[Reaper665]

Hi all,

I'm posting this in addition to my last thread (help me from losing my mind). My rifle is now breaking primers.



Any ideas why an AR15 might do this?

Thanks.

I assume it's Norc ammo?

It's not the AR.

There was a thread popping primers on the Norinco ammo.

From your pic I think it says cj.

Try other ammo and see?

Soft primer or heavy hammer spring.

 

[jdman]

hmm, never seen this issue before.

 

[Reaper665]

Ok. I will go get a better quality ammo now. I'll write back in a half hour.

Thanks.

Soft primer or heavy hammer spring.

..........nevermind

Known issue with some of the cj95 ammo, not your gun.

Damn NEA!!!


If it's not broken it's going around breaking things!!!

Can I quote this for my sigline?

Yes........yes you can

Norinco Ammo does that in all my ARs , even the whole primer will pop out sometimes and jam up my gun ... That ammo is poo..

I have 800 rounds of the stuff that I'm slowly becoming more afraid to shoot.
Thought I'd sit on it while the reports keep coming in from other shooters (sorry guys) and they keep getting worse!

When the fear overcomes you, I will accept free for disposal, all of that ammo.

No issue in my DPMS with pierced primers. Fired a few in my REM 700 and the bolt was hard to close which makes me think they are oversized somewhere.

 

[Reaper665]

I don't have issues firing it from my Norc. I will try some hornady ammo tomorrow.

 

[Frank Castiglione]

Yes........yes you can

No, No Nester...

 

[Reaper665]

All is well. I put some hornady and federal bulk boxes through it. No problems at all.

Thanks CGNers.
