    Normal cam-pin drag wear on DI Noveske?

    I know some wear is normal to this area, but I thought it was usually confined to the area of the cut-out nearest the buffer tube. I have this wear, but also some more that I was curious about. Pretty sure it falls under the "within normal tolerances--shut up and shoot it!" category, but wanted to ask regardless.

    Rifle is a 14.5" midlength w/SB, fired with 62gr 5.56, about 200-275 rounds so far.

    Normal.
    After a while you will start to see a track develop leading to the rear towards to buffer tube.

    Looks normal to me too. Looks almost brand new. You need to shoot it!

    No, but several people here wouldn't believe me if I told you what it was

    I understand what causes the shiniest wear-spot on the rear of the cam-pin recess, but what's up with the wear to the "rail" portion in FRONT of the recess closest the chamber, and on the rail portion below the normal "ramp" type wear from the cam-pin?

    It is, and the reason is that all I have within 30-40 miles of me is a 25 yard indoor range with no ventilation (well, technically it does have, but yeah...I was blowing black snot for 2 days after shooting last time. Screw that.). Until I get my suppressor and can shoot at my Dad's place (I live in an apartment, he owns a neighborhood in an area that is not city-limits, but still, we try to keep the noise down for our tenants) and then later move, my shooting is very limited.

    Normal.

    You'll see some interesting looking marks on the round part of the cam pin, as well. Also entirely normal.

    That's light wear. Looks like you don't shoot the gun enough.

    Sleeping days, working nights, no good ranges in the w/in 45 minutes area, no land of my own right now, the list of excuses goes on...

    It's also kindof new.

    lets see what else I got...

    That other wear is from the carrier. It's where the carrier pads ride on the upper.
