I took my Colt AR15 out shooting today to sight in my new sites and Eotech. Everything went find for the first 100 rounds and then all of a sudden I started having chronic failures to eject. What was happening was the fired case was still in the chamber and the point of the live round was wedged under fired case. I could not drop the magazine because the live round was stuck. I worked through the issue but the same thing happened over and over again. As I continued to shoot I started to have stove pipes were the fired case would get stuck between the ejection port and the bolt. Any idea what may be causing this and how I can remedy it? I had the front site changed out to a YHM flipup. Could this be the problem? It's really ashame too because my AR has been very reliable other than an issue I had with led fouling of the gas hole in the barrel due to shooting .22LR's and no 5.56 mm rounds. Thanks for you help. Mac |

I checked the FSB and found the YHM flipup had moved forward. My YHM is a screw on version which I thought would be easier to install. The truth of the matter is I should have purchased a pin in version instead because the screw type system slips, takes a lot of fooling around with to get it straight and can be put out of true very easily. Live and learn I guess. I wonder if YHM will let me upgrade to the pin on version? Mark |
