Pabucktail- thanks for checking yours and proving feedback

TM7554- I checked the magazine box and it does not move. Next move is to get it assembled with a non binding magazine box.

Thegman- In the current condition I am not seeing the firing pin assembly dropping as far/deep as when I dry fire it, so I’m not sure if it is capable of firing a round. I would also think if the round went off and the lug was not engaged there would be some additional excitement reported.

If I’m still seeing the same condition after clearing the magazine I may cycle some primed cases to see if it will ignite a primer.

The only other thing I’m second guessing is whether one of the pack straps was tangled and when the round went off I jumped so much it yanked it out without me seeing it. I do know my fingers were not in the trigger guard.

Thanks to all for your contributions
