After running it manually a dozen times, it became much easier and smoother to run the charging handle.
I wonder if some of the difficulties people have had are related to this. FWIW.
I see that you have owned a JP Ground & Polished carbine spring so you know how smooth those are. Have you tried the rifle version in the A5?
