Re: First Firearm Thread.
It could be that simple, try going through it and cleaning everything and oiling yourself. From there, it might be just trying to eliminate some of the variables to figure out the cause.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
haha, I haven't cleaned my AR in 3 years. I shoot it at least once a month at three gun. Not one hiccup. I may have to clean it now that I am shooting it suppressed.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
failed to feed, as if the bolt isnt going all the way back to allow the round to chamber. The round would be stuck between the mag and the chamber.

Do you have another buffer spring you could try out? What rounds are you shooting? New in box or reloads? If you're running reloaded military brass then it was most likely ran though a M203 or another MG with a loose chamber. When you full length size the brass it doesn't actually size at the base. The base is fire formed for a much looser chamber, hence it won't chamber in your rifle. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
My first thought was, it was the mags you are using, but PMAGs are the way to go.
Even if it is dirty, i mean really dirty it should fire as long as you keep it lubed. Sometimes on new ARs the Bolt fits very tight inside the bolt carried because the gas rings are very new and create a great seal. make sure that your bolt has a thin coat of CLP on it. Also make sure the little holes on the gas rings are not all lined up, this could cause you to short stroke. Don't be afraid to throw a little lube on your buffer spring and buffer. I would not use Motor Oil as a lubricant because it tends to be a bit thicker then firearms lubricants and retains more "Gunk". CLP is an all in one, it cleans, lubricates, and protects well but does none of those great. I recommend using a cleaning product then a lubricant such as slip 2000. Was the Bolt Carried Group purchased with the upper receiver or did you purchase them separately? |
