So I had a nice range day today with my daughter. She put about 100 rounds down range through the trusty Marlin 795. Very nice groupings for a 15 year old using irons. Especially since I only get her out maybe 3-4 times a year.
But I digress. My issue today was with a new Andro Corp 10.5 upper/SBR. I went to the range a few weeks ago, and it ran like a champ. No issues at all. Today I had 4 (maybe 5) FTE issues. One off which I had to mortar out, and all others needed to be forced out with a cleaning rod. And not a little love tap. I mean really hammered out. I have been shooting steel case Wolf for years with no issues. As a matter of fact, that is the only ammo that I had used previously in this gun. After I cleared the first several jambs, it would run for a few rounds, then FTE again. After I had to mortar the round out, I shut it down for the day. The casings didn't look to have any issues at all. the only round I actually saved was the mortared out one, but it doesn't look messed up in any way. Obviously a intense cleaning, and liberal lubrication is on deck. Aside from that any thoughts?
On a separate note, I have a Century M85 NPAP that I can't sight in to save my life. I am able to boresight it at home (only at 10 yards, space is limited), but I figure that should just give me elevation issues. I can;t even get on paper at 50 yards. Help!?!?!?!?!
