PROBLEM: the charging handle is way too hard to pull back. its able to pull back but definately can not use off hand to pull from the left side. i have to lower the gun and fully grip the handle with right hand (trigger hand) and almost push the gun away from me with my left hand just to pull back.
ive had the problem for a while and cant figure out the cause. ive checked to make sure my buffer spring is carbine length and not full. ive checked for abrasion areas on the handle and in the upper receiver area. made sure the handle itself is straight as an arrow. ive even oiled up the whole dang thing to see if itll go smoother. no luck... 
IDEAS????? |

yes the weapon fires fine, not a problem. bcg runs fine when coiled back after shot
CH runs smooth with BCG in when lower if off spring and buffer move freely in tube. when i try to charge it back its feels as if the spring is too strong or too long but length is correct. nothing feels as if anythings scraping or not smooth. i may buy another just to see what happens. thanks for the brainstorming though everyone... |

When Hammer is down(implying not cocked) the bolt will be a little harder to pull back because you are pushing against the buffer spring and hammer spring.
Does it go easy when the hammer is cocked? I bet the trigger is still tight and the buffer spring is still tight. |

I saw this one time, but don't know if it applies to your situation:
A customer's gas key was staked so hard that the burrs on the sides of the key gouged into the channel of the upper––under pressure only, ––when assembled, and caused that kind of problem. Dug into his upper pretty good. He used a MOAKS, but with way too enthusiastic (sp). Can't say for sure, but you might check, (nothing against the MOACKS, use one all the time-good tool.) |
