I know that this has been beat to death but why stop now. At the range to day I fired 30 rounds of Federal XM193 55 grain without a problem. Then fired 30 rounds of Tula .223 in 55 grain without a problem. I couple younger boys were eyeballing my rifle so I asked if they wanted to shoot it. After 10 more rounds of the Tula I had a stuck case. I mean STUCK I took the upper off got the bolt out and used a range rod and after several fairly sharp taps was able to get the case out.
Started firing again 5 rounds fine then another stuck case. The bolt would not relase fully and had to be tapped out again this time requiring much more effort.
I want to blame the ammo. However 2 weeks ago at the range my son and I ran approx 200 rounds of the Tula without a single problem. Cleaned the rifle after we got home. Lightly oiled and put it away. Don't know if I just got a bad lot# or what the heck is going on. I pulled the extractor and it looks fine. Put bolt back together and cases snap into bolt and hold well no signs of extractor or bolt face problems.
Any Ideas???
Rifle is a Stag Arms model 1.
