OK folks, I'm new here and seeing as how the 'help' section is a non-entity, I'm left with bothering y'all.
I've built a few FAL's and other assorted plinkers, but never an AR. Wow.... these things are a little tricky.
First, I started with a Sherluk (good, bad, ??) upper with a 20" hvy stainless barrel, contract A3 upper, Cr bolt and carrier, bushmaster lower w/dcm 2 stage trigger, and few mags.
Rifle occasionally doesn't clear an empty case from the chamber, but that could also be the ammo... Olympic NATO, just to break in the barrel. Rounds seem to get stuck in the mag and won't feed into the mechanism of the weapon. Try different mags? It happens with the Israeli orlites and a thermold. Lastly, I have an accu-wedge installed, but there still is some side to side movement at the teardown pins. Is this bad, or doesn't it matter as the scope and barrel are both on the same plane? How is this play eliminated??
Some day, after the bugs are worked out, I'm hoping to have a 200+ yd gopher getter!!!
Thanks for the help,
Chris
