I purchased a 716 first of November. This is my first AR style rifle. I'm still very new to the AR community. So forgive me if my terminology isn't exactly accurate. I've been searching forums for someone experiencing the same issue as mine, but I have been unsuccessful thus far.
During my first 20 rounds, I noticed after firing that another round would chamber but when I fired the "chambered" round, it wouldn't actually fire. Upon further investigation, I noticed that the bolt wasn't completely seated. So the firing pin wasn't making contact. I attempted the forward assist but was unsuccessful. I attempted to extract the round, but was still unsuccessful. It took excessive force to extract the round once it gets stuck.
This problem doesn't occur every time. But it doesn't occur at regular intervals though. I've got 60 rounds through it and it occurs at least every 4 rounds. I have various ammo brands in 308 and 7.62, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So I sent the gun to Sig for repair. I spoke with them last week an Andy said they "polished the feed ramp and test fired without malfunction." I'm no expert but I'm not convinced by that explanation that my gun is repaired.
Has anymore experienced this problem?
Would this be an issue that a "polish" would potentially resolve?
