It was all brand new Federal FMJ. I had already put about 20 rounds through it. The first 10 was trying to figure out why I was getting flyers. Couldn't zero for squat. Finally figured out I had the rifle cinched down too tight in the Caldwell Lead Sled. Removed the Velcro tie and did a one-shot zero. (Digital scope) The rest were just getting used to the trigger and getting a good group of threes. Then it just jammed.

I'm using MagPul Gen2 Pmags just like what came with the rifle. I don't know if it was the one that came with the rifle or one of the three I bought at the same time. All four are identical and I didn't mark them.

I do know the bolt was pretty stiff in the BCG when I first cleaned it after buying the rifle but figured it would free up with use. When I finally got the BCG out, I pulled the bolt and cleaned it better then added a little Tetra Gun Grease. That made a huge difference and the only drag seems to be caused by the gas rings. But it's a smooth drag now. I also checked the chamber and didn't see any damage.

I'll take it back out tomorrow morning and try to throw some rounds down range. I just came in from sighting the laser to match the scope zero and the mosquitoes were out in force. It had to be dark enough see the laser spot on the target or so I thought. The dot showed up in the scope even in daytime mode. I was going to go into nighttime mode when it got darker but too many mosquitoes.
