Blambert

No, it's my name, Brian Lambert, not of those Lamberts though. I first went to the one in Evansville as my family are all from that corner of Kentucky so when they opened down here of course we had to go. It's about an hour drive though because I live in such a remote area near the Mississippi state line.

Sorry to reply so late, thank you guys for the welcome. Ok , i found out it is a live free build and it had to be lubed up and worked a bit. The ammo was fine. That crisp new feel of the bcg should have been my first clue. Lol

I forgot to mention it's a Matrix Aerospace, it was a complete rifle ready to except for optics so I'mguessing Matrix built complete 308 ARs...

Good morning everyone, My name is Brian, consider myself a patriot, served in the Navy 1980 - 84 , and I grew up with guns and hunting, all types of both guns and hunting except for the popular hog hunting we have down here where the young guys drop from a tree on top of them and slit their throats. That's a new one to me. Of course posting hère because I am new to the 308 AR site , but also new as in got my first one yesterday. I have wanted one for many years and finally pulled the trigger so to speak. Being new to them though has also proved to be a problem. I bought some surplus British 7.62 the guy said was great ammo, 20 years ago he bought several thousand rounds of it and he had these 2 20 round boxes left. Well, I went down to my shooting range on the backside of my property and after 3 non - fires and it getting dark, I quit for the evening. The first round didn't show much of a primer strike, second one did but not deep, and the third round had a definite deep depression in the primer. I'm going to go get some more ammo today but my question is, has anyone else had this happen before and could it be something besides old ammo? I'd appreciate any input or experiences from y'all Pleased to meet you
