I just fired the weapon for the first time today. It was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, a little breezy.
Did a fifty yard zero, and dumped the rest of the mag into the target. Zero failure, seems to group descent.
It didn’t lock back….
The weapon:
Lantac dual charging upper(side and rear).
Break War Hammer charging handle.
16” Ballistic Advantage premium series .223 wylde SS Reece profile barrel, with pinned mid length gas block.
Bear Creek side charging bcg, with BCM bolt, and BCM chrome lined gas key….properly staked using Brownell’s staking tool, and Permatex aviation sealant…torqued to 55 inch pounds.
Aero Precision hand guard.
CoolHands g10 mlock hand guard grips.
JP 3 prong flash hider.
MilSpec buffer spring.
Carbine buffer.
80% lower.
Palmetto polish lpk.
Aero buffer tube.
Magpul stock, and grip.
Holosun AEMS.
Vortex micro 3x.
All parts are brand new, except the stock, and hand guard. Lubed with Lucas heavy duty gun oil.
Zeroed with Winchester 62 grain green tip.
Any theories on why it won’t lock back?
Do I need to play with buffer weights?
Do I need to just put a few more mags through it?
I have never had a new build do this, so I’m in foreign territory.
To be clear, it only took about 8 rounds to zero, only dispatched 30 rounds total, so this malfunction happened only once.
