Adams Arms/VLTOR A5 fail to eject
Big thanks for all the discussion guys. I won't be able to work on this for another 5 days or so, but I have plenty to think about. I don't plan on "dumping tons of money" into this upper. It is a brand new upper, and as far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't work, it must be defective. I already put extra money into the rifle by getting the piston upper and the Vltor buffer, because those are the things I wanted, so you're not going to be able to talk me into changing to DI or anything else. I'm going to try my best to get it working like this. I am going to try to fire it on a friend's functioning lower with standard carbine buffer system, and I am going to order a standard carbine buffer so I can play around with the weights (I have none and you definitely cannot find Vltor buffers right now).
One of y'all said something about piston guns cycling much faster than intended. I had heard that too when I was researching for this build. The A5 system with the longer tube and spring and heavier buffer is supposed to slow the cyclic rate. Shouldn't that help me, rather than hurt me?

What was the reason you decided to do this?
