Saint Victor .556

[10mmLife]

Issue resolved...a small piece was stuck between the BCG and charging handle. All good now.

Awesome!

Good to hear it was a simple fix!

Glad it’s resolved. Curious, what was the “small piece” that got stuck? Kind of a weird thing...

Wow. Must be some crappy ammo. Lol. Never heard of that happening before. Again, glad you got it worked out and it was something minor. I’ve been VERY happy with my Saint Victor Pistol. I’m sure you will windup loving your Saint as well. Happy shooting!!

What kind of ammo were you using? Was this a reload?

You don't typically see a primer pop out unless there's some underlying condition like the firing pin piercing the primer causing gases to fly out of the flash hole of the shell which could potentially push the primer out though I've never seen this happen before myself.

Thats crazy. At the indoor range I contract for I would say 7/10 issues we have with AR’s are ammo related. The other day we had an AR that kept jamming bad. I had to morter it several different times. Turns out the 556 ammo was not crimped and I could use a finger to push the bullet into the case. That allowed powder to get in the chamber getting everything stuck.

At least the primer didn’t go into the gas key.
