    I would have to say the M4 style feed ramps. This one is mine http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...imagecopy4.jpg

    What types of sights are you using? Have you checked to ensure that the barrel is torqued correctly (not loose).

    Are your sights tightened correctly?

    I would try some other ammunition and get some other magazines and see what happens. I would also upgrade the buffer (H) because AFAIK Armalite still overgasses their carbines and they probably gave you a carbine buffer.

    does the front left corner of your magazine hit the upper? There's a suspicious looking wear (?) mark in that corner.

    I saw that as well and it looks like that may be where the round impacted in his receiver which is why it is pushed in so bad.

    i am using a nikon monarch on armalites scope mount. I am pretty sure that they are on there right i used an inch pound screwdriver to install the scope to the mount and the base was snugged down as good as i could get it. Also could this be just a magazine problem?

    I don't see how it would contribute to your accuracy issue. At this point I would try to zero the iron sights first then worry about the scope.

    I would also make sure that you are well lubed and try some different ammo. Diagnosis via the internet is pretty hard.

    While we are often able to successfully get folks squared away in this manor, often it's advisable to contact the manufacturer for warranty repair. Armalite contact info.

    I cannot do that because I made the stupid mistake of losing the warranty card before I had the chance to turn it in and I could not find any online registration. But it was a stupid mistake that I could end up paying for in the long run but nothing I can do about it now.
