Are any of you experiencing feeding/cycling issues?
My build:
C3 lower w/ DPMS LPK, A2 rifle stock/buffer/spring
"Keyhole" on M4 4 year old upper with feed ramps but unknown finisher, 20" heavy barrel, rifle gas tube low profile gas block, 15" Tray Alpha rail, Core15 Nibx BCG w/ nibx hammer
The issue is with all magazines I own, magpul, c products, AR Stoner, Colt. Insert mag, pull charging handle loads round, fire but jams the next round. Either not feeding or round jams at angle. Sometimes misfire with no firing pin mark on primer, clear misfire by cycling charging handle w/ next round firing but the either a FTF/stuck at angle. Mine is a new M4 style upper with ramps. This is more like the round in not sitting high enough to be push forward out of the magazine.
Ammo was my reloads of 55gr SP pills over 25gr of Ramshot TAC that shoots good in my other AR as well as the Saiga.
I have another AR but not with me at today's range session. I'd like to swap that 16" upper on and see if it has the same issue. I'm thinking that either the upper or the C3 lower may be a few thousands out of spec or maybe a weak recoil buffer spring even though it has less than 500 rounds on it.
What's y'alls experience?
