[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 1604403, member: 64182"] Had a .458 SOCOM on an AR lower I had built a few years ago. The upper came from RRA right one of the times when it seemed likely that there would be an assault rifle ban (again) and the chamber was poorly finished, so rough that it tore brass up a lot. Took it on a pig hunt and test fired it, all was well. That evening at dusk a big boar showed up at the feeder; I lined up on him, and "CLICK".... rechambered, "CLICK" ..... That night I tore the rifle apart; all seemed well, the firing pin protruded from the bolt, etc. I was really puzzled. Gave it a thorough cleaning, then stuck a paper clip through the firing pin hole, and a tiny piece of brass popped loose from inside the bolt and fell out the back side. Brass shaving from the rough chamber had fallen into the bolt thru FP hole, then gotten smashed up into the opening, allowing the FP to protrude a bit but stopping the FP from going far enough to set off the primer. I felt like that guy in the movie about the ex-sniper who was framed for shooting a bishop. [/QUOTE]
