My problem child AR. WTF???
So I've had this gun since about March and I've had one issue after another with it. First I had a pinned and welded FH that was loose and had to go back to get re-done. Then I had a BCG that was failing to eject. Got a new BCG and it's worked great for well over 1k rounds.
Well yesterday I was shooting and I had two malfunctions that I don't understand.
1) Three double feeds with three separate mags (two USGI's with a green and brown follower, and one Gen2 pmag. All happened back-to-back. Couldn't possibly be all three mags were bad, could it?
2) I had at least five failures to feeds. So I put a single round in the chamber with an empty mag about 10 times, and the bolt wasn't locking back at least half the time. I'm using an H2 buffer on a 14.5 middy, which I'm assuming is the issue, but why the hell would it work fine for 1k rounds and just now start acting up?
I'm running Fed M855 which is literally all I shoot, so I'm having a hard time believing it's the ammo.
Gun is a 14.5 BCM middy, Centurian Arms BCG, H2 Buffer, and complete Colt lower.
Any thoughts? More than anything I'm curious why this would just now be happening after 1k trouble free rounds?
