Hey, picked up a new fulton armory 308 AR yesterday and am wondering if anyone is familiar with the following problems. First, when manually ejecting a round by racking the charging handle, it seems to stick, which requires me to brace the butt stock and use both hands to get it back. I am not weak and have used ar15s for years. Secondly, sometimes it doesn't grip the round, leading to double feeds. I haven't yet fired it, and it is brand new, so perhaps I should try to put a few rounds through it first, but I have never experienced this before. Is anyone familiar with this sort of problem? I tried several different kinds of ammo, both in 308 and 7.62x51.
