Here's my posts from earlier.

I shot the AR for the first time.............



The fail was strong. I had a lot of light primer strikes and feeding problems. I'll be giving it to an AR armorer to take a look at it.

I was talking to another armorer at the range today and he said it was most likely the headspace, firing pin, or something else with the bolt. It was a complete upper so it's most likely not my fault. This other guy is gonna take a look at it for free(it's good to know people) and we'll see what he says.

Don't let it get you down. Mine won't run steel ammo and I got over it

 

[magic man]

I think I'll just sell it and buy a DPMS.

[jd4320t]

anyone here?

 

[magic man]

Yup! I'm trying to trouble shoot my AR. Now I'm thinking I might have installed the hammer spring backwards.

That doesn't account for the feeding problems though.

 

[jd4320t]

hmm

 

[jd4320t]

Does it look like this?

 

[magic man]

I'll have to check tomorrow. If I went and looked now I'd wake everyone up.

 

[jd4320t]

haha ok

 

[magic man]

I know the spring legs are sitting on top of the pin correctly, but I don't know if the legs come from the bottom of the spring like in that pic.

 

[jd4320t]

I see..

 

[magic man]

I started reading the troubleshooting forum on ar15.com and I realized how little I really know about AR's.
