Just bought a used pre-ban Colt AR-15 7.62X39 caliber. Along with the rifle I got two colt magazines and a couple of USA aftermarket magazines.
When loading the chamber with the charging handle, the round chambers and the bolt locks no problem. But after firing a few rounds, the round will jam coming out of the magazine. I switched magazines between the Colt magazines and the aftermarket mags without any change in the result. In fact the colt mags jammed more frequently than the others.
Looked at the bolt and can't see any defects. Anyone have any ideas what is happening here?
