Gents..I know there’s a few of us here that have these and really seem to enjoy them for what they are so I’ll keep this going..
My Daytona Tactical That has so far been flawless just quit on me..
My brother was shooting it and had about 2 or 3 rounds that suddenly weren’t feeding properly.. he cleared them and pressed on. Then at the last shot the bolt got stuck tight and would not open. We were up in the hills so didn’t have many tools available and could not get it to clear. As it was an empty case in the chamber I put it away to be looked into closer at home.
As it was being packed up he noticed a broken bolt lug laying on the bench..I’ve read about that being somewhat common so assumed that was the issue and kept the piece and put the gun away.
I’ll try to explain this the best I can so bear with me..
Upon closer inspection looking at the bolt it seems the bolt did not “cam/rotate” as 3 of the bottom lugs had come straight back and embedded themselves into the feed ramp. It’s an m4 ramp and one lug had dug in either side of the ramp and one lug directly in the center..
Everything is kept pretty wet on that gun and never an issue before.
I’m not going to beat on the thing or even disassemble it as I’ve got an email in and would like to see what they say. Without having it apart it’s hard to tell what the culprit may be but just thought I’d share
Anybody want to hazard a guess? Broken Extractor maybe? Would a broken lug by itself cause the bolt to come back in such a manner? I don’t know as I don’t break too many parts.
I will definetly follow up here when I know more
Approx 1800-2000 rounds on the rifle
