[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Double feeds - advice needed

Posted: 9/26/2005 9:37:15 AM EDT

I know this may probably have been asked before, but since I'm new to this forum, and the search engine didn't turn up anything I'll have a go at it anyway.

I have a Sabre Defence XR15A3. Except for shaving of the front sight and installing a Rock River NM trigger no mods have been made.

The gun groups very nicely (sub 1MOA) with milspec ammo.

BUT! The bloody thing keeps double feeding. I have tried different types of ammo, different magazines, and it doesn't seem to matter Any suggestions (short of turning her into nails) will be appreciated.

Sounds like a bad extractor/extractor spring.

Its the cheapest and easiest thing to look at. Give the chamber a good brushing/cleaning and add an o-ring to your extractor spring (if it doesn't have one already).

Will do - a new spring with polymer insert from DPMS is in the mail
