New to this forum, forgive me if I ask a silly question... I built an AR from parts. The upper and lower kit is from M&A Parts, the lower is DPMS. Looks great, but doesn't want to load shells. Load the first it's ok, pull trigger, boom. It won't feed another shell into the chamber. I bought three mags from M&A and all three mags do the same. A buddy said I didn't have enough lube on the BCG. I lubed it with Break Free. A tiny bit better. Still has issues. Is it a mag problem? They ran me $11 a piece, cheap I know. Or is it something with the gun? My fourth build and all others seem to run fine. Is there a perfect mag out there? HELP! Please... |

I would try some quality USGI mags or Magpul PMAGS. Exactly what type of ammo are you running? Where are the rounds getting caught up? Can you post a picture of the chamber area? Take one pic with no mag, and one with a loaded mag locked into place with the bolt locked back. |

where is the bolt landing? does it move all the way forward without a round chambered? does it stay back? partially? all the way? Does the first round properly eject? Could be a lot of things at this point... I messed up the first time I opened my Rifle myself and Quib and Alphaghost got me back on track.. but I agree that there is not enough info here to point to any specific part as yet. Okki |
