I was thinking modified or broken firing-pin.
You might also want to confirm that it is actually chambered for .308/7.62 and not still in the original 7.5x54. A .308 probably won't headspace correctly if they marked the chamber as .308, but never actually modified it. That wouldn't really surprise me for Century.
