So I went to the range today to do some tests with new ammo. I was comparing Remington Fusion 62gr., Freedom Munitions 62 gr. PSP, M855, and M193. Half way through the test my trigger locked up. The bolt chambered the next round but my trigger would not reset. After a couple of minutes, I discovered the two pieces of a primer had wedged itself under my trigger, preventing reset.
I'm assuming the cause is an over charged Freedom Munitions 62 gr. PSP (I found the casing to confirm) and the solution is buy more reliable ammo. There was no noticable difference in the shot, as I didn't discover it until a few rounds later.
Anyone else have this happen to them during training? Ideas to clear or properly diagnosis in the future? Could my carbine equipment be a factor? (BCM 14.5" mid, 1/7, BCM BCG, carbine buffer, ALG ACT trigger)
In any case, I'm glad it happened at the range as it was a great learning experience on malfunctions.
