My son (13) and I decided to get in some range time yesterday while my daughter was on a date (cringe), and my younger son was having a sleep over with his grandparents. We planned to break in the virgin MP5 clone I purchased about 2 weeks ago, and let him shoot my 1911 in 9mm that he'd never shot. We warmed up with a mag each on the 1911 at 7 yards (our normal warmup distance), but we where both really excited about trying out the MP5. I popped the first 5 rounds out of it, and was EXTREMELY happy with it. I laid it down and gave him the lane while watching over his shoulder. After 2 rounds, he turned around with the biggest smile on his face! I laughed and told him to burn the rest of the mag, which he did more than happily. I reloaded the mag and made it though about 22 of the 30 rounds, and it stopped feeding. I dropped the mag, and saw I had a failure to feed. The round was MOSTLY seated, but the bolt wouldn't go into battery. I tried a few times, and decided I didn't want to waste anymore lane time, and we switched back to the 1911. I loaded up a mag for him and stepped over to the empty lane next to us to have a slightly more detailed look at the MP5. I used my phone to try and look into the chamber, but couldn't see anything. On a whim, I decided to shine the light up the barrel from the muzzle, no light in the chamber with the bolt locked back. About that time he finished his mag, and wanted to know if the MP5 was back in play, sadly I told him no. We each shot another mag from the 1911, and packed all up. While checking out, I asked if the range had a gunsmith on staff, they said yes, but not today. I explained about my squib, and he said the had someone that might be able to look at it, if there was a break in the line (abnormally busy for some reason). We milled around for a bit, and the line maintained it's length, so I just let him know I would bring it by later. The gentleman who was going to look at it over heard and asked if he could just look at it over the counter to cage how bad it was. With his pocket light, we could much clearer see it was just out of the chamber into the barrel. He suggested I could try and tap it back into the chamber with a brass cleaning rod, if I had one. I do and told him I would give it a shot, and if that didn't work, I would bring it back later this week. Once my son and I got home, we unpacked and I dug out my cleaning rods. I wasn't sure how much force it would take, so I put in my handle end with the plastic T-grip and gave it a light tap. It immediately popped back into the chamber, Flipping it over it fell out onto my cleaning pad. The bullet only had rifling marks about 1/4 way up the copper jacket. We where shooting basic white box FMJs, so nothing fancy. I called my son in and tossed him the bullet and proudly proclaimed "There, you've now caught a bullet from an MP5." We both had a laugh, and it's now on his nightstand with this first 22LR round casing, and his first 9mm round casing. I was shooting at the time when I got the squib, but I can't say I ever felt a "misfire". I don't remember having to cycle the bolt, but I was pretty well "in the groove" with it, so I may have done it out of instinct and just don't remember it. No moral to the story at all, just thought I would share it. As for our impressions of the PTR 9CT, worth every penny I paid for it. We still have a pistol brace on it while waiting for my first stamp to come back, then we'll get a can for it. My thanks go out to the guy at Indy Arms, always a pleasant experience dealing with the staff, though not always with some of the other customers.
