    It is a pre-ban lower, which I dont know much about. I dont have much desire to modify this frankengun since its a back-up, back-up, AR15 and it holds some sentimental value. But i'll consider it

    +1, now that I have my rifle it looks like where you BCG is getting stuck is right where the cut is on the bottom to keep you from going full auto, I have a feeling that cut is allowing the hammer to ride the firing pin causing the issue.

    What does "riding the CH forward" mean? Pulling BCG back and letting her fly without a loaded mag installed?



    ][/B]QUOTE=polymorpheous;1452427]Could be the hammer.
    Could be the bolt catch.

    Simple fix, stop riding the charging handle forward.
    You're not supposed to do that anyways.[/QUOTE]

    Riding the CH is when you dont let go of it and ride it forward.

    Excuse my lack of knowledge but why is that bad per sey? I was always under the influence that letting the BCG (pistol slide too) drop foward without a round in the magazine to chamber it and slow it down is what's bad?

    It doesn't hurt the AR-15, what happensgenerally when riding the CH is it will not have enough force to strip a round from a magazine, and can sometimes cause other issues with chambering.

    The BCG will slam home even when loaded, it really makes no difference if its loaded or not, just let it fly when you charge it.
