1371MARINE
Plinker
Ok Gents here's the background and issue;
Purchase this rifle in Dec. 2012. It sat in the safe until yesterday's maiden voyage to the range.
I disassembled it to wipe off the excess factory and storage oil before running it.
Field stripped the BCG, wiped everything down, reassembled it.
Inserted an empty mag and ran a function check... everything performs as it should.
Locked the bolt back, insert a full mag of PPU ammo and slam one home.
The round did not fully seat in the chamber hence causing the bolt not to fully lock.
So I try to seat it with the forward assist a few times, but no luck.
Next I try to extract the round but the lugs on the bolt are behind the lugs on the barrel extension because it did not fully rotate and lock in the first place.
So now I have a live round stuck and can't go forward or back with the BCG.
Does anyone have any advice to offer?? I know it's under warranty, but I can't ship it back with the live round in place per Sig's owners manual. I haven't contacted them since it's the weekend so I was hoping someone out there could offer a solution to get the round out before I move forward. Thanks in advance for any help.
