Again no auto ejection, had to manually eject a live round again and insert another round to fire.
Trying to trouble shoot problem. The buffer spring in the Magpul battle stock is 11 inches long uncompressed. I do have another spring in the drawer in 10.5 inches. Any clues on if I used the wrong buffer spring? Froglubed, 22 degrees F. Wondering if lower lower quality lower parts group trigger/hammer could contribute.
Really could use some help. The Noveske ran so well on my patrol rifle and I just wanted to build a dedicated lower to avoid swapping the .223 for .300. Thanks.
