I was at my range yesterday burning up some old reloads in my AR 15 when another member came in with a Bushmaster AR(mine is a DPMS) For what ever reason he could not get the rifle to fire in semi auto only single shot as in fire eject case click empty chamber,now this is with factory ammo.
He asked if he could try a few of my reloads
we traded some rounds and lo and behold it functioned perfectly. Tried my lower with his upper same thing bang case ejects pull trigger and click empty chamber. Tried different magazines same thing.
Now I am familiar with how the various types of actions work but I am not that savvy on the peccadilloes of an AR. An answer on this would be helpful should I happen to have the same problem.
I did suggest that he call Bushmaster tomorrow and throw a fit as this is a brand new rifle and it should function correctly
