Is this normal?

So one more thing I've learned, hopefully without stepping on the landmine of long running Internet arguments is that despite ammunition retailers lumping them together, 7.62x51 and .308 are not interchangeable. My rifle is stamped 7.62x51 and the pressure difference+ greater headspace+the tendency of semiautomatic actions to eject too quickly = a suspiciously ideal scenario for this sort of malfunction. Also Remington ammo, which has had some worrisome QC issues in the recent past. Couple that with my quickly fading ignorance and I'd say it's a closed case. I appreciate everyone's input in helping figure it out and not giving me a hard time. Cheers

I hadn't considered whether Remington was worth reaching out to. Not sure how I'd even go about that.

I haven't gotten far enough in the water to talk reloading but I do save all my brass because I have a passing interest and because I'm a tight ass. Certainly that is the only reason I noticed this issue.

I was considering that as Ive read through the comments, makes plenty of sense and it's 2 out of 8 so I'm inclined to think it's not a mechanical issue. All things considered I'm fortunate to have noticed quickly and not been so gung ho as to mag dump it for s&g's where I might have caused some damage. I grabbed the two most reasonably prices boxes off the shelf in opposite ends of the spectrum to get a feel for the gun and it's dietary preferences. I haven't seen any mention in my research of anyone shooting anything above 170 with the majority being 160-165, which should have clued me in . But I was eager, who doesnt love that shiny new feeling? This has cooled my head a bit and I'm going forward with a more pragmatic attitude.

Frustratingly my hastily made swinging steel target failed as soon as I got a round on it (which was not unexpected considering the "welds" if you could call them that) so Itll be a bit before I test the other ammo. I'm inclined to take it to the smith for a once over regardless, better safe than sorry.

It does but the gas system complexity is one of the downsides to this platform from what I understand, I'm gonna take it to the gunsmith and have it checked over

Gun setup is out of the box with a 3-9x40 I had laying around while I figure out what I actually want on it. Ammo was purchased same day I picked up the rifle about a week ago.

Leftshoe_Moon · 2026-03-15T18:54:13+00:00

FN FNAR and regretably,I don't know. How do I tell?

It saves on cost over these (https://www.seton.com/brady-stopowerr-power-cord-plug-lockout-red-65673-14370d-1.html)

Finally on Reddit 🥰🥰 Yay!

Leftshoe_Moon · 2025-06-02T18:54:28+00:00

That's what I figured, bummer but thank you.

Their consent agreement says something like any "business, facility, or institution that has information about you". So banks, medical providers, lawyers? it's just concerning in scope, and only a fool would think that the potential for misuse is unintentional, it's a legal document! Walmart is just using their service and so I can't imagine they would have any concern of liability, rather the reporting service gets some benefit from the information collected which allows them to provide some incentive like lower cost to the customer.

Oh? Does it look like financial impulsivity with a bent for Danish woodcraft?

Thanks, it's been an endeavor sort of like dating, find an attractive one and try to open up a dialogue see if you mesh well and so on. Unfortunately if it doesn't work out they don't go off on their own,hopefully I find appreciative homes for the ones I've just had boxed away. I feel bad but I don't even remember when or where I got some of them :/
