New Noveske light shorty issues

[Realfknnato]

Bought a Noveske light shorty 10.5 CHF. Had a class past weekend shooting suppressed. First problem happened 100 rounds in. Had a failure to feed. bolt ran over brass half way. I put a lot of lube in it and was good till last drill I had a stove pipe with new round being half picked up. The ammo was IMI nato spec (people told me it was higher pressure). When I’m shooting non suppressed it’s at 2oclock .. suppressed is 1:30 ejection pattern. Suppressor is SANDMAN S 30cal endcap …I ordered a blue sprinco spring for it but I think it was the ammo. Any thoughts by you guys?

Can you swap the gas tube for a BRT one? I'd get the gas corrected before I started increasing the spring strength.

I could but it’s a factory gun and I didn’t want to rip it apart. Thought changing the spring would be a quick fix

If it's dedicated suppressed, I'd definitely go this route:

As is, it sounds overgassed, and leveling up springs and buffers is mostly a bandaid. It'll still be overgassed even if you get the action controlled with heavier springs and buffers. That doesn't mean you can't experiment, just food for thought.

I was reading that thread of brt. People saying the gas tubes only last 5K rounds? I’m going to out shoot it in 6 months

A minimum of 5k. The test gt referenced was shot 5k, mostly suppressed, and then inspected, iirc. I'd just buy two or three and change them out when it gets to the point they need to be changed. The barrel will be toast, and you can replace it with a barrel gassed correctly for your application. If you're shooting a case monthly, the price of the tubes is an afterthought, esp in the scheme of maintenance, ammo costs, etc.
