If you file on that thing and something happens later down the road, they more than likely won't take responsibility for the problem.

Let PSA fix their fuck up, and don't do anything to it before sending it back. Liability is a bitch, especially nowadays!

Have you tried a different mag?

OP send it back to PSA. I had the EXACT problem with a new M&P15 T a few years ago.

mine is a new PSA as well. Is not perfect lined but I shot like 40 rounds of wapa .223 55g through it and it was fine, no jam. I haven't shot more since then. Your looks worse though but I should try shoot some more ... or you guys think if i could shoot those wolf ammo just fine, will I be fine like this?
Sorry for the pics, is from the cel and doesn't focus really well.

see the left side from the right ramp?

Extension doesn't look aligned correctly like the OPs. Untill you put a few more rounds through it, it's too soon to call it good to go. The 40 rounds isn't even two mags. But if it hasn't had a problem yet, so far so good. Don't get all hypochondriac'd because one gun from the manufacture has an issue.

OP, is the Tapco mag the only one you tried?

I'd also be concerned about neck tension on that ammo. Surprising how far the bullets are getting pushed in the case.

Can you post a pic of your entire rifle showing PSA logo? Not suggesting you are BSing us so please don't be offended. There have just been a couple first time posters posting pics claiming an issue with a PSA upper but when asked to post a pic showing the PSA stamp on the receiver or barrel stamp they mysteriously stop posting. It would help us hold PSA accountable. They need to make some changes if this is happening.

That being said, don't shoot that rifle or ammo anymore till you get things figured out. Definitely dangerous. If you saw the recent Colt blow up thread you can see what happens when things go wrong. Whatever the cause.

Hope you get it resolved quickly.

The upper isn't marked (see PSA's product page stating such) but here's pictures of the barrel stamp and marked lower with my user name. I can't authenticate it more than that. I'm not here to bash PSA and I don't have a secret agenda; I went with them because I heard good things about their product and I wanted to support a company in my home state.

I agree, although the feed ramps could be cleaner.
The rounds are being fed too low.
I would bet that a good mag, feeding at the desired angle, would take the sloppy ramps out of play.

I still would like to see the OP send it back to be fixed by the builder.

I'm aware that even cartridges with proper neck tension or crimp can do that. Seen it myself also. Also have seen much worse feedramps than that work just fine. Takes two seconds to do a push test on those cartridges to make sure there isn't a problem and avoid blowing some other rifle up because someone assures him not to worry it about and just disregard the possibility.

As for your other concerns, I could care less what you think. Don't recall calling him a "POS". I have my reasons for asking. Sorry you are reading more into it.

OP, as I said, I wasn't trying to imply you weren't being truthful. I thought I was fairly clear on that but maybe not. I apologize if it seemed that way. Not my intention.

There have just been several recent issues with PSA products and if they don't have their shit together, which it's starting to look like, I'm going to hold off recommending them to friends. I thought they were past this but maybe not. There are other places to deal with where this isnt a concern. But with the internet making it so easy to make things appear other than it really is, as has often been done, just wanted to make sure this wasn't one of those instances. There are a few people out there with an agenda and it would be easy to do. Speaking with several others, I'm not alone wondering this. I haven't had a problem with their rifles but almost every order I've made has had some mistake. They are quick to make it right but it's beginning to seem obvious someone isn't paying attention there. Mistakes are starting to seem more like the rule than the exception.

Again, sorry if my request seemed accusatory. As I said, I had my reasons for asking. Almost didn't because I figured somebody would overreact. They did. (not you) Thank you for posting the pic. Appreciate it.

Take care

Different lot numbers, different day of the week, different barrel suppliers, different guy on the stamping machine, PSA ordered a different stamp code. Take your pick.

Cool to see a PSA guy come in this... place. I'm sure they will take care of the OP.

Let's see... New guy comes with issue on gun. Forum responds with possible diagnosis. Fix is contact manufacture for repair. Purse swinging starts. Manufacture shows up before the next working day since thread started, offering to make it right... I see more purse swinging in this threads future followed by fan boy manufacture smearing, personal attacks, non-tech discussion, and the inevitable... System Message (that no longer contains a message).

This thread is nearing the end. IBTL.

Yall need to read the thread - MikefromTx already found the problem - its the ledge behind the feed ramps.

Those ramps are fine.

My guess ... never fire it!
