What are you using to clean & lube the rifle?

How many rds did you put thru it before you started having problems and how often do you clean it? Sounds like lack of lube. If you are breaking it in make sure you clean often and don't spare the lube, CLP.

I've put over 700 rounds thru it. The rifle gets cleaned after every use although I havn't disassembled and cleaned the buffer assembly and action spring.

Yesterday at the range the bolt carrier didn't cycle all the way to the rear after firing the last round in the magazine. It was also difficult to move it to the rear with the charging handle. Did the empty case eject or was it a misfeed and jam? Was the magazine full, some rounds in it or empty? Does your bolt/bolt carrier operate smoothly when out of the weapon? Does it operate smoothly when in the weapon with no magazine loaded? Usualy when the charcing handel won't come back easy it's on a jam or miss feed. |

The case ejected cleanly.
The jam happened after ejecting the last round. The bolt face stopped it's forward motion about 1/2" over the magazine. Bolt operates smoothly out of weapon. Operates smoothly in weapon with no magazine. |

OK, does this happen with all your mags?
If it does, check your mag release button. Is the screw flush with the button surface? |

Check your mag springs.
Work the mag catch. Does it move free and easy? Does the follower come all the way to the top smoothly? Take and clean your magazines and lightly oil them. Wipe them almost dry. Leave the sides of the follower lubed. Run the follower to the bottom with a ruler and let it come up all the way a couple of times like you're churning butter. |
