Cabelas was really good about it and just gave me my money back. I went and bought a real AR (M&P-15 .223). Though I think I had more fun with the .22 :P

So I called the dealer where I bought my M16 and they were also a little "wtf" about it all. They believe the rep at colt was incorrect and are going to get in contact with them directly for me. The umarex guy did put me on hold to double check with somebody and came back with the answer of "if it has a flash suppressor it can't be sold in MN" (incorrect). From the colt return form:

Very disapointed... I called umarex and explained the problem. The rep gave me a return instruction email. Once I read through the email instructions I noticed it said they can't do any work on the m16/m4 that ship back to MN as it is illegal to own?!? I called back to confirm this and umarex said it was true. Even though every MN gun dealer (including the colt dealer in MN that I bought it at) has their walls lined with ARs, Colt thinks it is illegal to ship me my gun back after any warranty work is done. Their only two options? 1) Wait the 4 week backorder for the parts, then send me the parts to fix it myself ( hoping that there isn't anything else wrong as I'm new to diagnosing problems with this rifle) 2) after warranty work is done ship it to somebody else in another state and go pick it up. /long sigh... Thoughts?

Sorry I meant to say 100 rounds out of a fresh box. So the gun has seen ~650 rounds. Still too early for a failure though. Ammo being used is the Remmington Golden Bullet .22 (550 bonus pack). This was the first ever failure in the ~650 rounds fired. All others worked great. Could it be I didn't have the velocity adjust screw in far enough? How hard will it be to repair the broken piece?

I only have ~100 rounds through my new Colt M16 SPR and it's already acting up. Everything was going great sighting in the scope and the recoil on the last shot felt different. I looked inside and it had failed to eject the case, and tried to load the next round into the back side of the un-cleared case. I cleared the round and didn't think much of it. The next few rounds all sounded / felt different, the smoke was coming out from around the bolt after firing as well. I decided to quit shooting until I could figure out what was going on. When I was packing up my rifle I noticed the bolt looked different and a "pin" had fallen out. I looked at the exploded diagram but could not definitely say which part it was. I think it goes on the front of the bolt. See Pictures. (also, I know it's filthy right now but I haven't cleaned it since shooting earlier today) Any suggestions on what to do (besides call Umarex)? This happened to anybody else before? Can anybody better explain what exactly this pin is for or why the recoils felt different?
