Luckily I had only two rounds left in the 5-round mag I was using when it happened the first time, after that I'd only load two rounds in it as it happened two more times after that.
The rifle is mostly stock, I replaced the thumbhole furniture with the U.S. made parts kit to include a U.S. made interior part (hammer?). I have also installed the Ultimak rail tube. Other than that the rifle is stock and I have never had this issue before.
I had taken it to the range to sight in the red dot with the wolf 122gr jhp steel-cased rounds only to realize I had brought 123gr fmj's. So I fired about 40 rounds of the fmj's with no problems. I then went home and got the 122gr. jhp's that I plan to use for hunting and returned to the range to sight them in.
I believe it was the second full mag in the 5-round polymer mag I was using, and as I slowly squeezed the trigger two rounds went out before I knew what happened. I stopped and looked around to see if anybody else at the range had noticed as full-auto fire is prohibited. Then I removed the cover, spring, piston/carrier assembly and looked inside. Everything appeared normal and I worked the trigger while holding the hammer to see how things were functioning.
I looked like the hammer could slip past the catch if the trigger was held just right, so as I fired afterwards I conciously and deliberately squeezed the trigger all the way through and it functioned normal. It seemed that when I took my time and squeezed the trigger slowly and felt for the sear to release is when the rifle would go auto. I couldn't tell if that was what was happening or if it was slam-firing.
But anyway I'm not sure what to do with it and feel rather nervous about using it again until this issue is resolved.
