    Short stroking mid length

    Probably been covered 1k times.

    16" middy, short stroking and failure to chamber, intermittent, and runs over bolt catch occasionally. Should an h1 fix this? Using Federal .223 bulk. ASC Magazine by the way. Had this happen on another rifle, but it was a carbine so a I ended up swapping to an A2 stock that I had and no more issues.

    H1 buffer?

    I appreciate that. I read it all. What I have concluded is that my gas system flows as well as it can. The gas key is not loose. I can manually cycle rounds fine. When running the rifle, It has failed to chamber (stripped but did not re chamber) bolt locked forward, it has also caught the middle of the case after stripping spent brass on the next round. It does hold open on last round.

    I read the basic trouble shooting. I am wondering if I need to slow the bolt down. Carbine buffer 16" mid length gas system.

    You could probably help yourself, by listing all the parts if it is a Frankengun or the manufacturer of said rifle.

    That's what I was trying to get at with my earlier post...

    In order to help us, help you in troubleshooting issues that may occur, please provide as much detailed information as possible in your initial post. This helps a lot as sometimes it could be something very simple that is picked up right away.

    1. Make and Model of Weapon in question as well as configuration. For example- Windham Weaponry 16" midlength carbine with standard carbine buffer, standard FSB, Semi-auto BCG, USGI charging handle, etc....

    2. Modifications that may or may not have been made. Includes swapping of drop-in standard components.

    3. Type of Ammunition used (if applicable) i.e. Federal XM193 55gr. FMJ, Prvi Partizan 69gr. BTHP, etc...

    4. Type of Magazines used (if applicable).

    5. Was weapon purchased new or used?


    Please be as articulate as possible. Pictures are always a good idea. Using correct terminology and parts nomenclatures will also greatly aid us in helping you.
