Okay, here's the problem.  My carbine will fire one round, then the bolt will catch halfway through loading a fresh cartridge.  I retract the bolt, dump the round that didn't feed, and chamber a fresh round.  It fires again, and hangs up again.  Upon examiniation, I found the firing pin retaining pin bent, took it to a local gunshop, and he worked over the hammer a little.  Took it back to the range, same problem.  

The kicker is that the old A1 upper I had worked fine, usually using Wolf or Winchester White Box fodder.  The new lightweight carbine upper worked fine when I put it on.  This upper worked fine with both a stubby "LE" stock, it worked fine with the A1 stock.  Post 9/13 I put a 6 position RRA stock on it, and now I've got problems.  Is there any reason that the new stock would lead to this problem?  Please help, 'cause if it is I can hear Feinstien laughing at me and it's irritating...

Make sure you are using the correct buffer and spring. Does the bolt lock back manually? Is your buffer detent present and functioning?
