A 7.62 Exodus
Expert
Today I was able to take advantage of the nice, hot weather, and take a few of my rifles to the range. This included taking my AR out for the first time. Well, things did not go well. The short list of issues I had today were:
1) Fail to feed (this happened a LOT)
2) Rounds getting jammed upon feeding
3) Fail to hold open on the final shot.
These all happened to me while using p-mags. At first I chalked the issues up to it being a brand new AR, and maybe is needed to be "broken in" so to speak. Well, I then ran a magazine through one of my Bravo company steel mags, no issues at all. To test it again, I reloaded the same magazine three more times, and I only had one fail to hold open on the final shot. Over four or five Pmags, I had issues with all of them. Unfortunately, I only had the one bravo mag with me, so I couldn't test it on the other ones.
Am I crazy, or is this a simple magazine issue here? Do I need to dump my magpuls in favor of the steel mags?
