I use 3 different ammo Wolf, silver bear and golden bear, 3 different magazines, Pmag, Colt aluminum mag, and brownelle mags. had the same issue on all the ammo and magazine. Really pissed me off. I shoot the same ammo out of my Double Star and LMT , never ever had an issue with any of the others and used a variety of Magazine across the thsoe other platforms never had issues, I fact on my Double star I never oiled or cleaned it for 2500 round and it still functioned flawlessly. Anyone else had similar issues with Daniel Defense? I bought it because of their reputation for being able to stand up to the extremes and quality, this is not the case in my opinion.
You really, really need to clean & lube all newly purchased weapons. For an AR, lube the BCG generously. Just because you got away without lube in your Doublestar doesn't mean jack. You were, in fact, causing excessive wear and tear, and abusing your firearm. Consider yourself lucky it didn't blow up in your face(joke). You can get away with shooting a lot of rounds (I've taken mine up to 4K without cleaning but with generous lube), but not without lube. That tells us you don't now jack about running an AR effectively. There are several threads on proper lubing and cleaning. Don't trust hearsay about guns from friends and family. Do your homework, do some research and forget about what you heard or what you think you know about firearms. Keep treating your firearms like your lawn mower if you want to. Eventually, your method (firearms ignorance) will cost you through premature parts replacement and or a damaged gun, then you'll be back on here posting another thread boasting about how you abuse your guns and can't understand why it won't run...
