New Norc M14 - bad problem FIXED!

I think slam fires with these rifles is more to do with the sear not catching the hammer properly. Ive never heard about manually cambering being a problem, where can i read up on that?

"The M1A is designed and built to specifications to shoot standard factory military 7.62 NATO ammunition. The
specifications for standard military ammunition include harder primers to withstand the slight indentation from the
firing pin when the bolt chambers a cartridge. This slight indentation is normal. The use of civilian ammunition
with more sensitive primers or handloads with commercial primers and/or improperly seated primers increase the
risk of primer detonation when the bolt slams forward. This unexpected "slam fire" can occur even if the trigger
is not being pulled and if the safety is on. Use of military specification ammunition will help avoid this."

all relate to the single hand chambered slamfire condition.

It's all good. Doing the research to fix my m305 I came across scary amounts of information :) (thanks CGNers!) and am now reducing what I know to a few pithy links :p
I have a Box account with lots of M14/305 information culled from lots of sources (m14.ca / m14.com are always a good option for information)
 
OP... glad to hear you're up and running, or should I say up and shooting! The M14 is a heck of a lot of fun to shoot and tinker with. CGN and it's great members have provided me with a wealth of information and help about these great rifles. I've still got more questions though... the journey of learning never ends. LOL
