Have you ever faced a wild failure while out on the range?

From jams to breakdowns, what major issues have you dealt with, and what solutions did you implement?

One time, I had a trigger pin start walking out on me while I was shooting. It was a cheap parts kit. I switched it out with higher quality parts and properly secured it. That day at the range was a lesson in why you don’t skimp on quality.

I have had worse, a failure in the field.
Had a deer in the scope and click. Primer dented but no fire. Several times. Finally had firing pin replaced, which helped a little.

At the time only BRI was making the ammo for this gun. Hard primers. When other manufacturers started making it, problem solved.
