Well my first question.
1. This problem wasent present at the range and the weapon functioned properly?
2. Have you tried using a different clip for your function check? I have some new clips that just dont seem to want to work as well as others.
3. Have you dissasembled the weapon to make sure you assembled it correctly?Having bullet guide /op rod catch assembly and accelerator in correctly.
4. And are you functioning the bolt thru its full range of motion/function and not short stroking during your function check?
5.TM 9-1005-222-12 says on trouble shooting on failure to eject clip. Check for broken or deformed latch spring and to replace latch spring. But if this is the first time this has happened I would look at the reassembly before condeming parts. This is a hearty weapon system, and was made to be handled by ham handed soldiers that have never had a weapon in their hands before and are receiving the first weapons training ever in a steep learning curve. And nobody can screw up a weapon like a trainee. Joe can do some amazing things to a weapon, it will make your head spin just trying to figure out what they did and what the hell they were thinking at the time, then and now. So check over your assembly and if you find your mistake correct it and chalk it up to expeariance. Most of us have done it too, at one point or another. And dont worry if you damaged anything when you assembled it incorrectly, unless you beat it together with a hammer, you dident... Plus remember your arm wont move or react as forcefully as exploding powder so nomatter what you might not get the clip to fly out as far and hard as it does under fire. Hope this helps, and see you at the range.
