I could be wrong, but I think he meant the sound it makes when you fire it. The buttstock that is. Lots of people thinks there's something wrong when they hear it? I don't know, that's how I read it.

Nope, I meant that when I have the Upper Reciever in a vertical position with the muzzle pointing up, the bolt carrier falls out very easily. I figure that it should fall out like that with out manually pulling back on it.
Your charging handle should lock and hold the carrier in place,you didn't push it in hard enough to set it,or the spring is Very weak ,or there is a LOT of crude in the cutout in the reciever where the charging handle locks up!

That is what I thought is that the charging handle would keep the carrier from sliding like that. I know I pushed it in hard enough because I was toying with it for a while and I was slamming it into the locking lugs. When I pushed it into the locking lugs hard sometimes it would hold a little better but not much. Just tapping the handguards with a finger makes it slide out.
I never did clean much around the area where the charging handle fits over the gas tube so maybe there is enough crap in there to keep it from going all the way. It would be odd though because I only shot 16 rounds through it.
If the spring is too weak as you suggested, what spring are you talking about? Is there anywhere I could purchase a stronger one?
