    A. Who the heck is HA?

    B. Get some factory ammo.

    c. You have cobbled together some dubious components. It's not a mystery why you are having problems. My first is something gas related. Your post was a little hard to follow.

    If the cartridges move inside the magazine (other than vertically) don't expect reliable feeding.

    I picked up 20 new Okay Sure-Feeds a few months back. With 5.56 and .223 I've seen no problems whatsoever. No experience with other calibers on those mags. Have you tried PMags? What are the details on your rifle and ammo?

    Just got back from the range...just now. Got it running. I tinkered with it all weekend. Turns out my main problem was that the SLR Sentry 7 gas block was bound up and not adjusting down far enough. I did not notice the problem while adjusting the screw with the handguard on. The bolt was outrunning the mag spring. This morning I got it to run suppressed and unsuppressed and lock back both ways on empty mags.
    Load details:
    LC brass
    135 gr Sierra Varminter
    17 gr H110
    cci 450 primers
    Med crimp using Lee factory crimp die

    Rifle details,
    Spike's Lower
    cmmg lpk
    Hardened Arms complete upper, 10.5 inch, 1/8 twist
    SLR sentry 7 agb
    Nickel boron bcg from Hardened
    Raptor CH
    Standard spring with H1 buffer
    It ran like a champ today. No mag issues either with the Okay's. I did also try out one of the 300 blk mags that BCM sells. I ran good too.
    Thanks folks.
