headspace is likely the issue. Do you have pics of the fired brass, unfired brass, bolt face?


No I do not.

So what is the course of action. Buy a headspace gauge (not sure what size?) and see if it fits my barrel? If it doesnt, then that means it was below what factory tolerance should have been? Need a new barrel?

With a 5.56 in the chamber will the bolt move all the way forward and lock or does it stop just short?
