I kept having people tell em that a properly run AR will drop brass in the 3-4 o'clock position. Mine always seem to end up at 2-3. So the answer rom here was hitting the deflector because of a carbine gassed barrel...
This is the deflector on a stock PSA Mid Length Freedom upper. Absolutely bone stock. Lower is also bone stock PSA MOE+. This one is always at 2 o'clock, no matter the load. Runs like a top, though, accurate and reliable. i have had the lower about a month or so now, the upper a bit longer. Thoughts?

So, I decided to sneak a peek at the Trash Panda, which is currently a BCA 223 Wylde HB with Giselle Super Gas Block on top of a stock MOE+ built kit on a Stealth Lower, Strike Industries flat wire spring being the only change. The lower has change a bit here and there, but the upper has remained the same and after getting the original teething issues out of the way, has been just great. I have been shooting the SNOT out of this thing for about a year and a half now...and lookit the brass marks!
Attached FileSo, oh gurus, is there an actual problem, or is this overthinking? Brass is generally reloadable, most rounds fired through both rifles ARE handloads, (I have time but little money, so of course I reload), both are accurate and reliable to me. I'm really not wild about changing anything around now, but if there is an issue...
