Well I picked it up this week after work, finally got to shoot it Wednesday evening. I shot roughly 200rnds and then I pull the trigger and only get a click. Here is what happened. I shot a round, the case did not extract all the way and it loaded a new round, or so it seems. There was a spent case crushed against the chamber by the bolt with a round in the chamber. I never saw it before. Ill post a link to the pic shortly. I did nothing to the weapon before shooting, simply shot it. Against my rule like many on here, but was anxious :barf:
 
Commonly referred to as a "stovepipe". I bet a good cleaning and some lube will keep it from happening. If the bolt is coming back slower due to being dirty then it may not have enough force to kick the old case out before the bolt comes forward again.

Clean and repeat, see if it fixes the problem...
