Shooting malfunction

[daniela3790]

I am trying to find out what may have happened on my recent Deer hunting trip. I was hunting in the evening with my RRA .308 rifle, two deer had came withing 20 yds of my treestand. I took my rifle off safety, aimed and pulled trigger only to hear "click". The rifle didn't fire. I had noticed another deer behind my stand, I maneuvered in position to shoot that deer, I aimed the rifle, pulled the trigger and the rifle wouldn't fire for a second time.  After the second misfire, the deer moved on out of the area, I packed up and went home without a deer. Later on, I had tried to fire the gun and after a third bullet was chambered, misfired and ejected, the fourth bullet fired. From then on I didn't have a problem shooting the rifle, I emptied the magazine and everything was fine. Looking at the misfired bullets, I noticed the primer hadn't even been touched by the firing pin. I'm thinking the ejector had somehow jammed and kept the action from fully closing home. The day before the hunt, I had tested the rifle to see if it was still on target, I had shot one shot and it was right on the money at 100 yds. Has anyone else had a related incident?

I moved these threads out of the Armalite AR-10 section.

What brand/type of ammo was loaded/chambered during these failure to fires?  Does the firing pin protrude enough from the bolt face?

Whats the round count through the rifle?

When you load a round for hunting do you let the BCG go ,after pulling the charging handle all the way back or do you follow it into position with the charging handle ?

Run it wet.

That's the same thing I was thinking when I read this.

Did you solve the problem?
