I was cycling my AR tonight/this morning with live ammo. I would put the magazine in charge my weapon then drop the magazine and then pull the charging handle to eject the round. Then after I did that I would visually safety check my weapon.
Well what concerns me is. I ejected the first round( I cycled 6 rounds) and noticed a tiny indentation on the primer of my cartridge. Like the firing pin just touched the primer.
1. Is that normal?
2. Is that safe?
3. Why is that happening?
I have done no fieldstripping of my weapon till tonight when I noticed this. When I broke down my ar for the first time ever tonight. I pulled the charging handle and the bolt carrier group out. I did not go any further then that. I replaced my charging handle and bolt carrier locked the upper to the lower and called it good.
Any help or advise on this matter would be much appreciated.
I will give two links to my photobucket account to give you a visual of what I mean. Sorry that's the only way I can do pictures from my iPhone.
