After over 220+ rounds through the Semi, I had my first stoppage and it was a bit different to the norm!!! I had actually noticed that the magazine was getting a bit slack when inserting the first round in of 15 and this was the reason for the round not getting chambered properly after I fired the last of 3 shots in a short semi auto burst.
It got picked up on the skew, twisted upwards and came to rest between the bolt and the chamber with the head of the bullet half in/out of the bore and a BIG indentation in the side of the brass casing!! I suppose it was very lucky it hadn’t gone off and damaged the rifle as well as possibly me or other club member.
Anyway panic diverted and now I will be stripping the rifle tommorow for the stock to be worked on for a newly stained colour. So until I get the stock back I will be using my other rimmy – the CZ 452 . Also I have comp cards to shoot next Wednesday for L.S.R both Sussex & Hampshire which will probably require the services of my AA S400 because it’s the most accurate rifle out of the three I use most of the time.
As for the semi- it will be getting a VERY intense cleaning session which should make a world of difference, then when the stock comes back and I have the soon to be ordered new buttpad , it will be a reasonably nice looking/shooting target rifle which will last me (with any luck) for a few years to come (maybe) .
