I've been working to remove a coyote on my property for the last few weeks. I've got a suppressed .300 blackout AR that I'm hunting with. Tonight I finally got a shot on one of the critters. When I came into the house and unloaded everything, I noticed that the round that was chambered after I had fired had a light primer strike on it.
Now I'm a little concerned. The rifle itself has had several hundred rounds through it, I've never had an issue and never have seen this before (although I usually would shoot a mag, not a single shot, so who knows). Shot earlier in the day did not produce the same result.
I understand that slam fires on AR are fairly rare, and google wasn't much help. A lot of results for light primer strikes, but more so in the failure to fire realm than on feed.
The lower was is a Stag, and it was complete when I got it. The upper is an AAC 16 inch barrel. Im not sure where to start. Any suggestions on what to look at?
