    Yea I should have said that I wouldn't be too worried about it IF you can get it to function properly. If you try multiple magazines and it continues to act up something is wrong.

    So what kind of magazine were you using? I thought DD shipped with a Pmag?

    Oil the hell out of the BCG. If you're unsure of exactly where it needs oil then dump oil all over and in it. It'll get rid of the excess pretty quick.

    It was some $50 aluminum mag (orange follower) that my LGS "threw in." It was in my OP but it was easily missed: I left my pmag at home in my rush to clean my DD and get to the range before dinner =p

    Sorry OP but there is no point to your post until you use some known good mags in it. Ever hear the acronym MEAL? It stands for the common reasons to have issues

    Magazines
    Extractor
    Ammo
    Lube

    Your gun is a great gun by the way. So that means Extractor and ammo (should eat anything) are most likely non-issues.

    So the questions you should be asking are, is this a good magazine? and is the gun well (and properly lubed)? (IE lubed gas rings, bcg contact surfaces and charing handle)

    That list isn't sequential, it's just a handy acronym.

    Low-pressure PMC ammo + midlength gas system = not ideal.

    PMC Bronze can run fine in midlength systems, but may not. The chamber-pressures it generates are generally pretty low, compared to 5.56 pressures (Example: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=123377).

    I'd disregard the magazine until you 1) lube the hell out of your BCG, 2) get some 5.56 ammo, try shooting it again, and see what happens. That said, doing THAT with a known-good mag surely wouldn't hurt...

    Also, dunno if you are new to AR's (seems like you might be). You may notices that there is no C for cleaning in the acronym. It is much more important to lube the thing. Good to get the factory grease out no doubt but you dont need to clean it after 20 rounds....

    Yeah i should have said that. Its not that Magazines and extractors are the two most common reasons of failure followed by ammo and lube. In my experience the leading causes are lube and dicking around with your gas system when you dont know what your doing!!

    I would definitely lube the heck out of it and I would try using your pmag or a different mag and see what happens. The V7 is a great gun.

    If that was a new rifle it should have shipped with a P-Mag. I'd might be asking my LGS where it went?

    Like others have said, more lube and better mag the next time. If it fails to run then it's new ammo time.

    I will say this, my V7 has shot everything I have fed it.
