I began the process of breaking in my new AR-15 (Armalite M-15A4) this weekend and after 50 rounds I noticed that the top of the cam pin was gouging the rear edge of the upper receiver recess as the bolt carrier moved to the rear in the operation cycle.
I contacted the manufacturer and was told that this is a rare problem but it does happen. They also stated that once the cam pin cuts a

I do not like this answer. There is more happening here than just aluminum being removed.
I believe this problem could be caused by one or more of the following:

- carrier cam cut out of spec
- incorrect index of locking lugs on barrel
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have been through four other AR-15's and this is the first.
