This may be a little premature because of the upper being new but thought it may still be interesting to get comment on.
The upper is a SS 16" PSA 1in8 twist. The BCG is also new. The rifle will eject but not pick up the next round when shooting my 50gr V-max load that uses 23.0gr of IMR-4198. I have heard of 4198 not cycling full length rifles (this load works great in my 22" VTR-15) but not in carbine length gas systems. This rifle worked flawlessly with my 55gr FMJ'S which are loaded with 22gr of WC-844 and with my 55gr Nosler BT and 65gr Game King loads. All the loads shot good even the 50gr V-max which would not fully cycle. I'm thinking about trying them again after the upper has some break in time. Motor |

Quoted:
Make sure the BCG is wet before shooting. New uppers need some extra help as they break in. I'm sure you know this, but I had to relearn this myself last range session. 
Yes. Was running it wet with CLP. I just thought it was kinda strange considering it cycled everything else fine. I'll have to try them again later. The magazine was my Remington 5 round. It's been used enough to be smoothed in. I didn't try another. I have some well used GI 20 round mags these are my favorite BTW. Motor |
