I really love this gun! This is my first automatic and I have had plenty of time to pore over it, learning as best I can how it works. I've been laid up for almost a month now with a broken femur and kneecap. I got hit head on by a guy with passing out problems who was passed out, it was entirely his fault.
Just now I'm getting to where I can hobble out on the back porch with my walker and my MP to fire a few rounds out into the hill.
I have noticed a couple odd things though and thought I would ask everyones opinion.
Yesterday evening I went out and pulled the trigger with no fire. I cycled the action and the next round fired. The round that was chambered first had not been struck by the striker pin. The round looked fine so I reloaded it second in a stack of 3. This time all 3 rounds went off fine. I'm shooting Winchester white box 230g FMJ.
I'm just wondering what may have caused this because when I shot off the back porch with a buddy tonight it did the same thing, but again I reloaded the round and it fired off normally. I "think" I pulled the trigger completely but I'm not sure. If its operator error, I'll learn. I just don't want this to be a problem with my MP.
Also when I first got the gun, after cocking with the magazine empty and installed, I could not make the gun dry fire. It just never would. However tonight I tried it with the magazine removed and the gun dry fired. Now the gun will continue to dry fire whether or not the magazine is installed.
Again I'm wanting/hoping this was my fault in that I did not fully depress the trigger, but I don't know.
Otherwise the gun functions excellently and I really enjoy it.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
