I went out with my new model 10 fcp-k in 308 shot 20 rounds cleaned after each shoot;
I went out to shoot again to zero in a new scope 6 shoots then click,fire pin went in but did not strike primer,
rechambered round fired,next round click ;each time fire pine went in there was a click sound but did not touch
primer,changed 6 different rounds still the same,changed to another brand click.Took it back to dealer he went out shot
the rest of the 2 boxes no trouble ? HAS this happened to anyone else
thanks

I it is the accu-trigger model, sounds like you were tripping the trigger without fully depressing the safety. This will make it sound like it fired bit the firing pin will not strike the primer. The cure is making sure you are pulljng straight back on the trigger and possibly increasing the pull weight a little.
