My Daniel Defense 16 mid-length seems to have some feed issue that's causing some gauging and deep scratching on the brass case and bullet.The rifle seemed to function properly last time I shot it and didn't have any feed issue or jams.I noticed it when I would manually cycle the charging handle no matter which brand of magazine or bullet or my own reloads.The BCG seem sluggish and slow to go into battery and sometimes the round would get hung up on the feed ramp or get a double feed or failure to extract the round from the chamber.
The rifle is pretty much stock except for the Geissele trigger upgrade and was a ordered from DD via the smart Gunner build to order that was offered in 2011
I admit I don't have much experience with ar-15s and wondered if anyone else has seen this? I do have two other ar15s both BCM 16 " mid length and don't get any bullet gauging with them when I manually cycle the charging handle and until the magazine empties.......
I thought I would give Daniel Defense a call after the holiday and see what they say.I've never had to return anything to them for warranty work but I imagine their top notch and check it over for me ?
I tried to take a few photos with my Iphone but the lighting wasn't the best.If you look close you can see some brass shavings around the feed ramp.
