The 24" barrel with RLGS will have some dwell time characteristics to it that are not what the original system was designed around.
Combine that with a carbine buffer, and you have a recipe for early or violent unlocking, and the extractor often takes a lot of punishment in that gas system/operating system arrangement. You can mitigate this problem with an adjustable gas block, heavier buffer, flat wire Tubbs recoil spring, or combination of these. Usually people use a rifle-length stock and recoil system with a 24" gun. |

Quoted: Quoted: Proper buffer and spring on the way Won't help much get an adjustable gas block too much gas won't be stopped by a heavy spring or buffer it will only work the bolt harder I have had extraction issues and started with an adjustable gas block and it helped the issue. I just got a heavy buffer and spring for it and hope that solves it. I agree that it needs help on both ends. |
| had the EXACT same thing happen to my Fulton Armory M110 -- brittle fracture at the extractor claw. This was when i first got the rifle and was shooting wolf steel case through it. Fulton Armory handled it very professionally and sent me a new extractor out immediately. |
