Hello, new to the forum. I'm a civilian shooter and hobby AR user with no "real world" experience. I picked the name Modern Pirate just because I was reading a book about the Barbary Coast. ;)
I was shooting my PRI 6.8 SPC upper at the range yesterday for the second time. The first time I barely got three rounds through it before it had stuck case problems. I polished or whatever you want to call it, the chamber with a chamber (5.56) brush on a drill with plenty of FP10. Now this time I didn't have stuck cases.
I did have failures to feed, or more precisely rounds getting hung up in the feed ramps and setting the bullets back far enough to be dangerous (beyond the start of the ogive). The magazines also failed to lock the bolt back on empty. The mags and upper are both very early PRI production. It has been so long that I don't even know where the receipts are and can only guess that it has been two years. Not sure that there's a warranty.
Any ideas on whether the mags or perhaps early chamber dimensions could be the culprit? Thoughts, guesses, suggestions appreciated.
