how can i reduce gas pressure? i'll get a heavier buffer as well, but i have an ar that is not ejecting and the round gets caught in the top of the recievr, but it also tries to dtrip a second round.

the rim of the case has some marks where the extracter has put a lot of force back on the case, so besides useing a heavier buffer what can i do? i'm useing a standard a2 flashhider. the gun also has a good bit of kick due to the buffer comeing all the way back, i guess i could try a stronger spring if there is such a thing?

thanks

Give us all the details on the rifle (make, type, manufacture), including the barrel gas port size if known. This may help us narrow done the problem a bit more that with the information that you have given.

Double feedings of live rounds are mag related, one live and one spent is a extractor problem, and what you perceive as too much gas may be just a rough chamber or over functioning that you may be correct in regards to the spring being too weak.

As for  new spring, there have been more than a few sent out on rifles that are too weak to begin with, but in regards to extra tension springs if you wish to buy one, Wolf springs does offer them.
