I took the AR18 out for the first time in about 6 months.
Clean and lubed
I got a 20 round mag out in FA with one fail to fire.
Then several 20 round mags that had multiple fail to fires.
After that the armalite failed to fire in FA. It would pop off one round then FTF.
Several types of mags, same problem.
All cartridges (that FTFed) had light primer strikes.
The firearm functioned fine in SA.
xm193
about 25 degrees outside
for a cycle test, i cocked the firearm (in FA) and pulled and held the trigger, the hammer dropped. While holding the trigger down i then cycled the bolt and the hammer did stay cocked until the bolt was back into its closed position... Dont know if this proves anything, but I thought it may indicate the sear is working properly...
Thanks guys. Any feedback greatly appreciated.
