I put together a 6 Arc this winter and it seems the gun is cursed. Every time I take it to the range it seems to have problems. Something always goes wrong with it.
I finally had a good run with it a few months ago and was able to do load dev for it. Went home and loaded up a box of that load.
Went out today and the first shot went off. Cycled fine with a perfect 3 o clock ejection.
Next shot went click. wtf?!
Tried to eject the cartridge and the bolt was stuck bad. Had to used a screw driver to pry the bolt back enough to where I could move the charger handle.
This repeated a couple more times with only one actually firing.
I'm guessing I messed something up when I was reloading. Maybe I didn't bump the shoulders back enough?
Could this be a head space issue?
Seems to chamber ok but when I go to shoot I only get a click. No primer mark. Then the round is stuck in the chamber.
Maybe I didn't bump the shoulders back enough?
I checked the brass with a chamber/head space gauge and they seemed fine.
Haven't had this issue before.
Early on I had some handloads that wouldn't chamber but I think I fixed that issue.
Gun was freshly cleaned.
When it does work it sure is fun to shoot. Was hoping to have my kid shoot a deer with it next month.
I'd just run factory through it since I'm obviously too retarded to handload for it. Even though I have zero issues with my bolt gun, 300 black and 223 ARs.
Is it an issue with having a cheap Shaw barrel?
