    Does it eject the fired case OK? Does it strip off the next round ok?

    Seems like a $600 rifle carried by Sportsmans warehouse. Trying to see who the actual manufacturer is, some claim it is the same as Radical or Bear creek, if so, that is the problem, they have a LOT of parts that end up out of spec. Would need more info to narrow it down as there can be a few things out of spec that can cause that, and subtle difference in the nature of the "jam". Usually if it short strokes and fails to eject, there can be a gas problem or binding on something. If it is ejecting, but failing to load, hammer not resetting, or many other things, it can be a defect, or something between the rifle/mag/ammo choice that isn't working. In any case pics and a detailed description are the best way to narrow it down.
