Hello,
I just picked up a new MOE version and took it to the range. Prior to shooting I cleaned and oiled it. I put 150 rounds of CCI Mini Mags through it. I didn't experience any FTE's or FTF's. What was troublesome is that after inserting a mag, the gun would not properly chamber the round. It would push the round above the barrel opening with such force that twice it bent the bullet from the casing. This happened to me at least a half dozen times. I tried using both the charging handle and the bolt release. I only have the one mag and it looks to be in fine condition. Also, during a course of fire, this happened to me twice.
I've been reading about the FTE and FTF issues but haven't heard about any fail to chamber when first charging the gun. Is there a fix for this or does it need to go back to the factory?
