A few thoughts....
It can be difficult to troubleshoot especially when people are modifying and dicking with stuff.
As far as I know the ports on the KAC SR-15 aren't that great. In fact, there are plenty of other carbines that have ports that are at least that large and larger and they seem to run.
I am curious as to why you dissected a Vltor buffer rather than just getting the correct weight. I would be running the Vltor H4 buffer.
Does the KAC bolt use proprietary ejector and extractor springs?
IG,
I think the ejector spring is non-proprietary but the extractor springs are... I swapped in tungsten weights in my buffer as well since I had an (now obsolete) H3 BCM buffer; its cheaper than buying a new VLTOR H3 or H4. From what I read, gabuzz has all 4 weights as tungsten and his gun is still cycling cheap ass ammo without the suppressor fine. I would have thought it wouldn't pick up the next round with that amount of weight.
Thoughts?
I forgot to mention that I'm still a little pissed that I bought a $1650 upper, an upper mind you, that was touted as running well suppressed and then I go to use it and it ****ing chokes up shooting 5.56 mil-spec ammo suppressed...? Are you kidding me? And then to know they make a nice 11.5" mil barrel with the smaller port, proper strength to weight profile,and is dimpled behind the gas block to save weight (instead of the retarded Gov't profile I ended up with) but they won't sell it to me? What??? However, 50 guys called "Original Gansters" can buy them because they bitched and griped to KAC years ago and got a special run going for them but you're screwed if you are not part of the original 50 if you want to buy this stuff... WTF? Now you have me upset that I had to spend money on my setup to make it run well because my "commercial" spec barrel is made for a wide range of idiots to use rather than dropping in a warning card that states only 5.56 mil-spec ammo should be used in this gun for it to function reliably and let the morons be morons.
IG,
Round count is approximately 500 on my sr15
I totally did not expect this to happen from a super high end upper...sorry to hear about yours troubles....is it only giving you troubles suppressed or both?
Did you read the thread???
