Steyr M9-A1
2 light primer strikes today. One primer strike was at the edge of the primer and the other was at the center.
The gun seems to hang on something occasionally about 3mm short of going into battery. Possibly cause of light strikes?
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I mean it must have tried to fire out of battery right?

Most likely. Send that shit back to Steyer. Don't shoot it again. You can seriously injur yourself.
>>31794643
Well shit, thanks I guess.

It could be a weak recoil spring if it's not going into battery. How many rounds have been through it? Also what >>31794643 said. Out of battery firing is pretty spoopy
>>31794655
Maybe 200 rounds
Gun is new and unmodified, except for thread protector I got from Steyr themselves for $7.
I might have had oil in the striker too so a light strike I wasn't ready to worry about yet but edge of primer raised an eyebrow.
Seer is a weird ass knob design too.

What part of Ohio?

No

Is it possible that oil in the striker channel could cause this?

OP here, called Steyr. They said they'd send me a box and I could send it back but they think it's probably break in period and that if they don't see it they'll have to send it back.
They recommend I switch to 147gr Federal.
So, I guess that's good customer service on their part but I'm thinking It's trade in time, fuck'n brand new gun.

This, gun is possessed by demons, perform exorcism and dispose of as soon as possible.

Check your rifle for bees.
Should have bought a Glock and not an imitator.

"Break in period" is an excuse manufacturers use to hope you just forget about it.
Break in period or not, the gun should not be firing out of battery. There are supposed to be safety features that prevent this. Imo, demand Steyer fix it, or sell it and never give them your money again. A gun firing out of battery is not joke. It can literally explode in your face.
