Just finished an early wedding gift for the fiancee, and took it out shooting this weekend.
Its an ar15 in 5.56. Spent a good deal of time breaking it it while sighting it in, and had no issues (other than somehow i managed to put the hammer spring on backwards. Figured that out on the first round) I put about 30 or 40 rounds through it using the same p-mag the whole time. Decided to let the kids shoot it after my fiancee put a mag through it. My stepson started shooting, and it basically turned into a single shot - had to pull the charging handle after every shot, because it wouldn't pick up the next round. I tried again, with no issues. My stepdaughter shot a 1/2 mag through with no issues, and then i shot one final mag with no issues. The problem only occurred with my stepson. I'm assuming it was something in the way he was holding it, but I'm not sure. Id like to be able to correct him so it doesn't happen again, but i need to know why it happened first.
Any help?
