The Official Status Update: Part 24

[OneBadV8]

Probably about 400-500 by now. I haven't had any problems in the last 300 or so rounds. Before that I was getting malfunctions because I installed the hammer spring wrong.

You should probably drive to Indy some weekend for some

Indy?

MM, is there slop between your upper and lower?No, nothing noticeable. Where you loading mags with open or closed bolt?Both. How is the paddle tension on your bolt release? Plenty of spring in your mag release?Both seem fine.

What caliber is this AR

 

[OneBadV8]

Indy?

Yup... I'll drive the rest of the way to my range in Gnawbone

 

[magic man]

Steel Case? Brass Case?

Brass. AE223 for the most part.

Do your feed ramps match up on your upper,barrel assembly?

 

[HandK]

DO you have a carbine length buffer in it or one for a 20 in barrel??

Will Indy fix it? Maybe it's being choked by the second-hand air from Chicago?

AH ok.

 

[OneBadV8]

Drive down to indy sometime and we'll get it figured out

Hey Sam, how wasyour Daughter's Birthday/Slumber party with all those 14 year olds?



That looks like fun.

It was lots of fun for the girls, everyone left with the same number of eyes, hands and legs that they arrived with, so it was a success.

5.56

Carbine buffer.

My only thought is that the bolt is cycling too fast and not catching the round when it comes back. Would that make sense?

Or its not going back far enough so it doesn't have as much energy to push the next round all the way in

 

[theweakerbrother]

Buffer tube spring or buffer is my guess.

 

[jd4320t]

Check out your BCG and make sure it's all good too.

 

[OneBadV8]

Buffer tube spring or buffer is my guess.

Try a different one from somebody if you can. I had a buffer spring once in a build that was about a half inch too long that caused problems.

I was shooting at a shotgun shell about 10 yards away with my G19 and was getting close, but wasn't hitting. My dad was mouthing off the whole time about me being a crappy shot. Then I told him, "show me how it's done old man!"

His first shot-
