Thread: AR15 issues

My AR isn't particularly reliable, I get a lot of failures to feed where the BCG either rides over the round entirely not picking it up, or it half picks it up but the round nosedives into the barrel extension.


Carbine gas, 14.5", compensator, rifle buffer system, well lubed. Have tried 2 BCGs (Daniel Defense Milspec and DPMS), the DD one seems a little more reliable (Possibly due to being sllllightly heavier). Have tried several different mags, 2 types of factory ammo (60gr Belmont, 55gr Hornady (brass cased)). The Belmot seemed a little more reliable.


I suspect it's overgassed but I'm not really sure. Any thoughts?


The fact that I have an upper with M4 feedramps and a barrel extension without them can't be helping. The barrel work was done by Dan Hardy, I've though of sending the rifle up to him to fix it but I'd like to be able to use the damn thing while I'm here on break from work.

Fuck custom rifles, next time I'm just going to deal with the customs hassle and get the barrel I want factory from the USA
