I bought a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 a few months ago and with ammo scarcity (At the time) and having other things to shoot I never got around to shooting it until yesterday. I have a Sig Romeo 5 mounted on it so I wanted to get the optic zeroed.
I fire one round to see where I'm hitting before making any adjustment. Drop the mag and attempt to pull the charging handle to clear the weapon...nothing. Charging handle wont budge. I had to take the weapon apart and pry on the Bolt Carrier to get it to release. I put it all back together and when unloaded the charging handle worked as it should numerous time. Load a round into the weapon, and again, I cant pull the charging handle to empty the chamber.
Anybody have any advice or tips here. FWIW it is the 8" FX-9 with SBA3 brace on it. Never fired until yesterday. It was disassembled, cleaned, and lubed before firing.
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.
