New to AR, Took the new SFAR out first time after a cursory cleaning. I did not take bolt apart (I know I know)
On shot 7 no primer contact tried once more same thing just a tiny barely visible scratch.
Pulled bolt, could see something brass or copper not round flush in the fire pin hole.
Pulled fire pin and found a small brass looking shaving. End of fire pin kind of marred up. It kind of looked like a piece of a primer. Way to big to go through pin hole. Wind got it before I devoted it so no pictures. The pin looked like impacted brass on the tip, I was able to clean it up.
Is there anything in the firing pin chamber that could come apart or is it likely mfg debris?
Is the firing pin suppose to be spring loaded because it is not?
It fired fine after but wondering is something inside broken?
