AR15 problem!!!
Took my new black rain AR15 out to shoot today for the very first time. I'd shoot three rounds and then nothing would happen. Like a misfire? I'd eject the round and cycle a new one. It would shoot 3 or 4 rounds and then misfire? I repeated this about four or 5 times. Always the same thing.
I'd lubed the BCG the night before. After my problem started occurring, I once again took the BCG apart cleaned it, relubed it very lightly, and tried the whole thing again. It shot about 3 or 4 rounds and then the same thing happened again. One time, I ejected the round and cycled a new round and 3 times in a row nothing. 3 misfires? Then on the 4th attempt it shot 4 rounds and then misfired again.
We started examining the shell cases. The ones that didn't fire looked like a possible light strike. The cases that did fire looked a bit deeper on the primer.
The ammo I used was brand new Federal .223.
I'm not new to firearms, but I am to AR15s. I'm not a gun builder or AR15 guru! I will be one hopefully one of these days.
Can you guys point me in the right direction as far as where to take it to get fixed? Right now, my only option is to take it to H&H. I don't really want to do that. I took a shotgun there to be repaired recently. It had a similar problem. They had it 6 months. I don't really want to be without my AR15 for possibly 6 months.
Thanks,
I'm frustrated.
