I finally put together my rifle, a Noveske Chainsaw Gen 2 lower, Fulton Armory A1 stock with rifle tube, rifle buffer and spring, and the Spikes 14.5 mid-length upper. I took it to the range on Sunday to sight it in and test function, and shot 60 rounds of PMC 223 through it slow-fire with only one feeding/extraction incident. But what an incident it was. The fired case did not extract. The new round was halfway forced in the chamber. The charging handle would not budge. I ended up having to use an aluminum rod and mallet to force back the bolt and clear the jam. At this point I am going to just keep shooting 223 and 5.56 though it and see how things go. I don't think there is anything you could do with a rifle buffer (7 steel weights) short of removing one of the steel weights. I suspect I am going to have to make a wood dowel spacer to put in the tube, and go with a carbine spring and buffer. We shall see. As always, any suggestions would be appreciated.
