Took my newly finished 'A6 out this weekend to wring out the kinks.
Problem #1: using Indian surplus 7.62....enough said.
Problem #2: Rounds won't automatically feed unless I hold the belt so there is a lot of slack in it. Seems the round is not pulled out of the belt (links) by the extractor/ejector and fed into the slot. Bolt closes on an empty chamber. Could not believe this could be this finiky for a combat weapon. Could the extractor/ejector be bad or could it be Problem #1?
Problem #3: Sometimes a round will not fire. Gets a small dent on the primmer but no bang. Could it be head spacing or Problem #1?
As a side note. It was the hotest day of the year...sofar, 95+ degrees, hot for the PNW. Packed the thing out in the middle of a clear cut. The damn gun was all most to hot to touch before fireing. Sweatting like a pig by the time I got it all set up on a mound. Kept thinking "North Africa, North Africa, North Africa." Packing that thing around under those conditions must have been a *****.
