OK, I'm pretty sure I have heard people were using the H2. That is what I have. I'm getting the round ejected, but not reliably getting a round stripped off and fed correctly. I have a 8.5 in Noveske with a pistol tube and 220 grain subs. I'm using a Trident can. 2 different Pmags. This is my 9MM sbr lower, and I think maybe I changed the buffer spring once too, I just can't remember.

The frustrating thing is I shot one round without my can just to make sure everything was OK since this was a new build and then I screwed on the can and shot 5 times without a hickup. THat put a big ass smile on my face.

I only got it to cycle correctly one time for two shots after that. All the rest were either light strikes or jams or not stripping the round off the mag.

I have a regular buffer, a tungsten buffer and a different spring to try, but thought I would ask some of y'all too. I know in the original thread that some people were having problems with Pmags.

Thoughts?

TIA

When mine did this it turned out to be an improperly aligned gas block.

Ditch the PMags and others are using lighter buffers.

+1 on the Pmags and buffer. Mine is an 8" noveske and I have had a few jams(with supersonic suppressed) in which the round was caught mid case and jammed sideways and only partially stripped from the mag. I use regular aluminum or SS mags now with wolf +10% springs and magpul anti-tilt followers and they work great. I am also running a regular H buffer. Hope this helps

I hate to sound stupid, but how do I fix that?

I went looking through some of my stuff and I had two new in the plastic Bushmaster mags with magpul followers.

$32.99 each. I don't even remember buying them. I will try them and change out the buffer and spring to a "stock" carbine and see what happens. Thanks.
