I was shooting plain jane USGI mags with light green followers. I run PMAGs most of the time. The USGI's just haven't been shot since putting the ranger plates on so I used them instead.

I guess you might be crazier than me, but if this was my duty gun, I wouldnt stake things on "maybe it will work well".
Since I saw you had issues on page two, I figured id just say as well. I had two RRAs (prior to my LMTs, Noveskes, and COLT) one middy and one carbine. I probably shot well over 3000 rds through the carbine without any issue using basic NHMTG aluminum mags. Ammo was winchester white box and lake city 5.56. Obviously I could have staked everything, put in a heavier etractor spring and a f/a carrier, but the most important thing is to do the least amount of "upgrades" to a well functioning gun. Sometimes a stock gun is more reliable then a reliability upgraded gun. You just have to choose you mods very wisely.
I know I should not have started tinkering with it but I can't help my self. As far as what might work regarding the bcg....I have shot it now, it functioned fine. I believe that other factors caused my mentioned problems not my bcg. Also I have a Magpul class coming up with a posiblility of upwards of 1800 rounds in two days at least 1800 is what is required for the class. So I figure I'll find any problems out in those two days.
That could be what is causing my issues on the range yesterday. I'm going to try the buffer spring first and then go run all my mags USGI and PMAGs if it all functions then great. If the USGI fail me again once I have the right spring then I'll know what the problem is.
Thanks agains guys,
