I just bought a new NcStar brass bore sighter for my 5.56 NATO AR15 rifle.
I had the action cocked open to slide the bore sighter into place in the chamber.
After checking the aim I tried to remove the boresighter. It was tight so I tapped the butt stock lightly on the floor. Well the action slammed shut on the bore sighter.
I opened the action and the bore sighter was ejected like a spent round.
The bore sighter is fine but my concern is my rifle. Could I have damaged my chamber or rifle in any way?
How are you supposed to chamber the bore sighter to avoid this happening again?
