[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 484123, member: 376"] Kevin, Correct me if I'm wrong here, but in the M1A/M14 family it was not unheard of to fire out-of-battery (before the bolt is completely locked up) because of things like this (overly sensitive or high primers)? I've always heard that because of the design of the M16/AR15 bolt this particular phenomenon is, if not physically impossible, considerably more difficult to make happen. I'm not an engineer or gunsmith, I just shoot the dang things, so I take some of that stuff at face value. Seems like there's always a few who think with the right combination of powder/primer/bullet/etc. they can make their AR .223 into a .22-250, rather than accepting the gun/cartridge for what it is...
