New RFB having problems..

First day with my RFB out at the range, getting the scope zeroed and adjusting the gas.

  • Scope was good, gun was accurate, and I think I need to increase the gas a bit.
  • Firing 168gr PMC X-TAC

The problems however...

  1. When releasing the charging handle to chamber a round, sometimes it would only go halfway and need me to push it to the end.
  2. On multiple occasions (5 or more times) I would pull the trigger and nothing would happen.

---> primers were being dented but not going off. HUGE safety hazard.

  1. I had one double feed, don't know why. Looked like the rounds got chewed up a bit.

  2. One round went off half a second after the trigger was pulled

  3. On one occasion, the RFB locked back when there were still rounds in the magazine

I didn't lubricate or clean it as it hadn't been fired prior to this. Is the issue the firing pin? The gas? The ammo? Should I send it in to Keltec and have them look at it?

Thanks for your thoughts.
