    UPDATE/Resolution

    Well, I finally got a chance to run a few more rounds, not enough but it will have to do for now.

    I ran about 300 rounds, mixed brands, mostly the Indy 193, and NOT 1 FTE. slow fire, double/triple and full mags as fast as I could pull the trigger! This thing ran like it should. So I think its safe to assume the problem is fixed.

    I will say BCM fixed the issue, they stand behind their product and made it work! and that is very important to me.

    I am very interested as to what the original problem was, obviously NOT ammo. This issue had a lot of us guessing, and we still will be. BUT it works now and I guess thats all that really matters.

    This is BCM's response to what the problem was and what they did to fix it. "We inspected, repaired and replaced parts as necessary, test fired and you should be good to go. Let us know your results at the range. Enjoy! Keep shooting!"

    So there you have it!
    Thanks again for all the repsonses.

    Update2- Thanks BCM

    Well, I got a chance to shoot some more. I was taking my time and really trying to dial this thing in. It has been a long time since I shot irons, BIG difference between 25-50 yds and 100, but I will get there. Anyway I know the gun is good anything else is me.

    Then it happened, I pulled the trigger and NOTHING! Then I noticed the bolt was locked open, out of ammo. SOOO, I stared to have some real fun. double, triple, 10, then full mags. Then I ran the HELL out of it.

    It is amazing how fast 500 rounds go, with NO PROBLEMS. I was like a monkey on crack. I shot all Indy with no problems. I have a bunch of mixed stuff, that I want to run just to see how it handles it.

    The only other problem, is I am now looking into other options for this as well as different AR configs. WOW, I thought pistol shooting was addictive, it is, but I guess the bottom line is I JUST LOVE TO SHOOT!

    I will post an update, with those results as well, if anyone cares.

    Thanks again for all the responses.

    Just curious if the OP ever heard back from BCM as to what the culprit was? Extractor? Chamber?...

    This is what was posted above. The only response he received.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    Ammo Test Update

    My ammo testing is complete. Based on the wierd FTE issues I originally had, I wanted to make sure I was able shoot any ammo I was able to get. I have shot cheap/NOT Quality ammo in many pistols and rifles and thought I should be able to do the same in my High Quality AR. Some is MUCH better than others but reliability should be 99% with the worst shit out there, and 100% with anything I would ever consider for SD/Hunting.

    The results after BCM's final fix:

    I was able to run everything I could get my hands on, including the much hated Steel case junk, and almost every other brand of brass ammo, 223 and 556. I would not think twice about purchasing anything I got a very good deal on. Now that I can shoot anything, like I thought I should be able to, the fun part will be finding the ammo of my choice. I guess I will just to have to keep shooting.

    Thanks again for everyones comments/opinions/help.

    Safe shooting to all.

    bjxds, did this issue start right off the bat with your rifle? The only reason I ask is that I'm having that same issue with a newer BCM m4 upper that I recently installed, but it's just started having FTE's in the last 400 rounds or so (1,057 through the upper). The BCM bolt I'm using has nearly 3,400 rounds fired with it and has never had a single problem until now. I had one FTE on a range trip with federal 193, detail cleaned the extractor and bolt, and this Monday had 2 more FTE's, the round that tried feeding behind the FTE round was dented to shit...making me think it was maybe my metal mags. I'm going to try pmags next week, and if they're still FTE's I'm going to detail clean the bcg (again) and the chamber and see if that works. Reading this thread makes me nervous that it could be the chamber, especially since you never had issues with 193 before the fix.

    Thanks, if your problems started immediately that makes me think it's not my chamber, since my first issue was about round 650. The extractor and spring looked/felt fine, so hopefully I've just got a burr in the chamber...I'll have to do some investigating. I've also got a complete BCM bcg that's never been fired that I can swap in to narrow down the problem.
