If you're short stroking a heavier buffer will not help. Try a carbine buffer and see if it cycles better.

That's what I thought it I couldn't remember. For some reason I was thinking heavier buffer=longer dwell time=better function.

But I've been hit in the head a lot, so.... lol

It should function fine then. Look for gas leaks, make sure the BCG travels all the way to the rear. Are you sure the mags and bolt catch are good? Is there any binding/friction when the bolt cycles?

People call it a Mod 1 because the rail says Mk18 and the Mod 0 is the one with the RAS/FSB combo.

I got a few of those sights a few years back. one of them leans like yours and is dialed to the right like that as well when zeroed. it zeroes and shoots fine, and although I just set mine at "2" and zero for 50 meters, I shot it out to 500m using the drum rotation when dialing for distance on a KD range. shot great. you'll be fine.
