Hey all. Thanks for the responses and sorry that I haven't responded, been busy with work and the kids and haven't had a lot of time to fix and check it out. I did hear back from Adams Arms and they are sending me a new bolt carrier to try first, then if that doesn't fix the problem they said I will need to send it in to have them check it out. I did contact them about the buffer and they said their system should run up to a h2 just fine and if it didn't, ream out the gas port just a touch and it should run it then.

My gas setting was at the 12 o'clock position so that was not it. I'm going to wait for the new bcg and we'll go from there! Thanks again everyone, that's why I always read this before anything else.

On an aside, I did order a bcm 14.5" upper and after shooting it I wondered why I ever went piston in the first place. Thanks again!
