    Jam on a new AR. Panther Arms

    Father inlaw just got him a DPMS 308 by Panther Arms. It is a sweet little rifle but he was trying to site the scope in today and it jammed on his second round. the bolt just froze up. not like it was trying to eject a round or anything. A round was in the pipe and she would not rack. I took it apart and fucked with it for a minute and freed it up......anyone know much about these rifles and any problems to look for?
    May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

      This wouldn't be the first time I've seen a brand new DPMS rifle with a misaligned gas block. Are you saying that it was still in battery, and had not begun the ejection sequence? It "jammed?" Do you mean you couldn't eject the round with pulling the charging handle?

                From what i can tell is that he put a fresh round in and it wouldnt fire and it was stuck on fire and wouldnt click back to safety.....wouldnt let you eject the round and the push button jam button didnt do shit. I had to seperate the receivers and fuck with the bolt to get it to release. I put it back together and it fired a round with no problem. He is running an errand but when he gets back i am gonna load a magazine and see if it will run thru all the rounds with no problem. The bolt and receiver were bone dry so i lightly lubed everything......we shall see.

                  Okay, so it jammed on the first round, you tried the forward assist (that just pushes the bolt back into battery). So you took the upper off, and what did you do exactly? The reason it wouldn't go back on safe is because an AR won't switch to safe unless the hammer is locked back ready to fire. A gun that can't fire isn't "safe." So it seems what happened is the round discharged and it didn't unlock the bolt head. So, it worked fine after that?

                    he told me it fired the first round. he loaded another into it and then it wouldnt fire. Now, he is an old cowboy and doesnt have any experience with this type of rifle so he may have just made a mistake. Im not quite sure it. i had hell getting the bolt back, but with a little bit of fucking with it, it went back. dont ask me exactly what i did to it....i just did the shit they told us in the marines.....fuck with it until it goes bang again. lol

                      It sounds like it just hasn't been shot enough to really know if anything is wrong. A gun that jams on it's first shot ever is not out of the ordinary. Make sure the rifle is lubricated.

                        I will have you know that in 308 flavor I digress from H&K (at least in battle rifles)!

                        But seriously, DPMS will warranty this.

                          Did he lube it before he shot it? As a Marine, you should be able to show him how.

                            no, he just shot it. I lubed it for him and tomorrow when he has time i am gonna show him how to field strip it and the basics. i figure it just needed some lube and to be fired a few times. I knew a few of you guys would know the rifle and figured i would give yall something to discuss and if yall knew of anything that was consistently wrong with them. It is a solid/heavy motherfucker compared to the M16 I carried.
                            May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

                              Depending on the profile it should only be 2lbs heavier than an M16A1/A2.
