My Mark III 678 Target -- about 5 months old, with about 2,500 rounds through it -- did something odd today that it hasn't done before. I was shooting at the range, and after firing several magazines, it stopped locking its bolt back after the last round. Everything else was functioning normally: it was feeding and extracting just fine (no FTEs or FTFs today), it was firing every round, everything seemed o.k.
It was consistent, too, Once it stopped locking back, it stayed that way; i.e., after every magazine it fails to lock back. I tried two brands of ammo, tried both my magazines - no change.
Pulling the bolt back by hand makes it lock normally.
I usually do a field strip and cleaning every 300 rounds or so.
Anybody have an idea what's going on?
Thanks!
