AR failing to feed.

Oiling it will not help...This is the same Del Ton upper you were looking for rails to add on? First thing I'd check is that your barrel nut is tight. Do you have access to standard USGI mags?
If you haven't got it sussed out in the next several days, perhaps we could meet up somewhere and you can try some of my mags/ammo and see if we can figure this out. I live just north of Concord. I know my mags and ammo works in my AR. Let me know....
run your finger along the feed ramps and the cuts in the receiver... you should feel a nice, smooth surface, if they did a shitty job you'll notice you'll feel a lip where there shouldn't be one either where the feed ramps in the barrel stick out or were cut too deep.
Your rifle should feed a round bone dry or soaking with oil. Either your lower receiver is out of spec, your barrel nut is not tight, you have improperly cut feed ramps, or perhaps there's a burr. A more helpful photograph would be mag out, looking down your receiver at your feed ramps.
Either one of these two options on the page will fix the problem

I wouldn't call it a bur, but it looks like there isn't a smooth transition on the feed ramps to the chamber and it seems to me that is where the tip of the round is getting hung up on..
That. I'd consider sending the DelTon back for a refund...No one likes to hear it - in fact, I suspect the legion of "My DelTon Is Fine" army will be along, but DelTon is in most circles considered suspect in quality at best. They look great on paper, (features and price), but really aren't. You can do a lot better for the same or slightly more money.
From that pic, it looks like your feed ramps are jacked. If you can - tip up your upper, pull out the bolt carrier croup and shoot a pic straight down the receiver.
It's hard to tell from the pic, but something does not look right with those ramps...Seriously - if you bought it at MidwayUSA, get a refund and buy a Daniel Defense...
Jesus wants you to...
Call Midway - tell them the LPK is fine, but the upper is jacked. They'll assign a value to the upper alone most likely. If it were me - I'd disassemble the whole shootin match and send it back for a full refund and restart with stuff that works...
I'd be willing to bet the barrel/nut are either not installed properly, or out of spec altogether...
See the shiny part at the top of the right feed ramp, for some reason there is a lip there that hangs the round up.
Sorry man, but your gun is a show piece and not a shooter.
zoom brother - zoom...try and get a close-up. It looks from the pics you've posted that your ramps/extension and/or barrel are jacked...

Hard to tell from my phone, but that looks like M4 feed ramps cut into the receiver, but not the barrel. That would be a problem that cannot be fixed without the proper barrel.

So what did he do different? Ammo or Mag?
