Is your rear sight on backward?
Nice job, I'm still gathering parts for my first pistol build. |

Good eye on the sight, not sure what happened there
 . Goin out tomorrow to test it out, hopefully everything goes smooth. Going to try the 115gr Remington's first, then maybe some 220's. Pretty excited since its my first buid, I don't think I'll ever buy a complete gun again |

Had a chance to shoot it yesterday. Started off with one round in the magazine to see if the bolt would lock back. Bolt did not lock back and I noticed the brass dented. Then I decided to put 2 rounds in the mag, 2nd round was chambered fine, and still had the exact dent from the brass hitting the receiver. My conclusion I'd that the bolt is coming back too fast, not allowing the bolt to catch and causing the brass to be slung into the receiver hard. Brass is landing around the 4:30-5:00 position. I'm guessing I need a heavier buffer, would that help solve the issue?
I believe that it is overgassed. Shooting 115 gr remington ammo(supers)  |

There is a picture on the internet that shows where the brass is landing and what part of the AR system its affecting.
do a google picture search for "AR brass ejection diagram" it should be the first image from that image it states "'over gassing" is from 12 to 3:00 the sweet spot is 3:00 to 4:30 and then under gassing is 4:30 to 6:00. I just don't know if its AM or PM  |

Usually with a bolt not locking back is a sign of a gas leak, partially blocked gas port ect. It could also be a binding mag catch or one that is out of spec. If where your brass is currently landing is correct it doesn't sound like it's over gassed. Don't think a heavier buffer is the solution.

Decided to add my PA 1-4 scope to the pistol. Want to see how accurate the barrel will be for deer season. Hope to go shoot sometime this week if work will allow. Unfortunately I'm in the HVAC business and is scorching hot down here in the south.
