Thread: AR CYCLING PROBLEM

Assumimg you have a full auto carrier, i would try a lighter one. I built my race gun around a lighter carrier. Had the gas port drilled to just function on a heavy carrier, it would spit my handloads out and only just trip the bho by grabbing the carrier, not the bolt head. It wouldnt pick the next round up when doing this. Problem was fixed with an ar15 carrier (slightly lower mass than full auto carrier) but it was running on the ragged edge of reliability. I put my intended JP low mass carrier in to give it even more lee way and found i even had enough room to adjust my gas down some.

So, try shedding some carrier weight as well as the buffer. This isnt going to help you much when swapping between supers and subs. In fact ignore all i have written and play with powders instead!
