I have a 4-5 year old CMMG conversion kit that has been working fine up until now.  I noticed that the when it comes time to remove the kit from my uppers (all 4 of them) the kit gets stuck.  It doesn't matter how many rounds I run through the gun, 10, 100, 300 etc...I have to use a hammer and punch to the back side of the kit to hammer it out of the upper.  The kit itself is completely clean and oiled prior to inserting in the gun.  Anyone have any insight on this?  I did email CMMG tech support and am waiting to hear back from them.  The kit I have is ~5 years old and is the all stainless model.

That can happen. Carbon-glued to the barrel. Afflicts one of my conversions.

The entire conversion bolt and upper/chamber area are clean.  Also note, this just started happening recently and worked fine for years prior to a mont or two ago.

When I got the kit out of the upper, I could see scrape marks from the rails on the kit actually wore off the finish in the upper.  It appears to be binding due to the side rails

Did you bend a rail the last time you cleaned it?

Properly reassembled?

Is it me or does the carrier rails look crooked/tilted?  The kit does slide in just fine its getting it out thats all of a sudden a PIA

CMMG thinks the chamber adapter assembly is swollen from use so they are sending me another one.  Let's hope this works and fixes the issue.

Good news, hope it solves the problem.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the rails are in the correct orientation, I don't have mine handy to look at but seem to remember that they don't sit at 90* and 270*, respectively, using the top as 0*.

The rails are angled the way they are to provide clear access to the entire ejection port.

So the new chamber adapter fits nicely into he upper and is removed just as easily.  Now I have a new issue.  Testing out this new adapter today for the first time, I was getting failures to eject, feed, stove pipes and 2-3rd bursts.  What could be causing this?  I was using (3)blackdog 10rd magazines in a bushmaster M4 A3 E2S upper.  This same AR shoots .223/5.56 just fine as well as it's had hundreds of .22 using this same conversion kit with the old adapter.  I plan on reaching ou to CMMG in the morning.

Is there supposed to be a firing pin spring?  If so, my kit doesn't have one and I don't ever recall seeing one.
