Well gents I have a new (500ish rounds) M4V5. I keep having FTF, and I’m assuming the bolt is moving too fast, but it works 90% of the time. The bullet gets caught by the bolt on its way into the chamber. I’ve tried several types of ammo, and 4 different types of magazines. It’s been cleaned and oiled SUPER well, and I’ve also tried it with a little less oil. Should I go ahead and send it back to Daniel? Having paid $1400 for it, I expect it to work as I’ll be betting my life on this rifle. Thoughts?

Did they cut the feed ramps into the upper?

If so, are the feed ramps in the upper lower than the feed ramps in the barrel, exposing a vertical lip on the barrel below the ramps?
