Is it the ammo and Rifle tuning.
I’m new to building rifles, but definitely have the ability to do it. Bought correct jigs and tools for basic assembling.
here’s my situation
I brought 2 new 5.56 builds to the range to run them for the first time. All parts are new.
1. 14.5 mid length factory Bcm upper w/ carbine buffer. Standard gas block
2. My build from a box of parts. 12.5 Rosco patrol length barrel, toolcraft ion dlc bolt. Standard gas block. This is a fixed mag pistol in Massachusetts…yes…dumb.
Ammo.
100rds factory fiocchi range dynamics .223
100rds Reman’d RAM manufacturing .223
Although it could have been smoother…Both guns cycled the fiocchi. No issues that I recall.
The RAM reman’d would
-failure to extract
-Double feed
-not fire with what looked like a good FP strike.
I contacted GunBros and they said they haven’t had any complaints about the ammo.
I’d love for my rifles to not be ammo picky….but…Is it “safe” to say it’s an ammo issue?
Any tips to smooth out the rifles? Ejection was ok but could be brought more toward 3:30-4:00. Would heavier buffers smooth out and help ejection?
