[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1836641, member: 204"] It is not bolt bounce. Bolt bounce (more correctly called bolt carrier bounce) causes a FTF (failure to fire) in full-auto. It is when the live round has been chambered and the carrier bounces back at the same time that the autosear has released the hammer. The hammer expends its energy pushing the carrier closed again and does not have enough energy to fire the round. If the fired round is being extracted (but not ejected) and you are then getting a double feed of the empty cartridge along with the next live round I would suspect the ejector is the problem as SMS has already mentioned. Need more specific details. [/QUOTE]
