texaz, there is nothing wrong with your carrier/bolt group. This is a feeding problem betwen the magazine and feed ramps.Lead tipped bullets will drag alot on the feed ramps. Polish your feed ramps smooth.Next check where the steel ramps meet the aluminum receiver. The aluminum ramp (if it has the ...

I'm thinking that the cutout in the bolt carrier is too short....look at the dings on the shoulders of these two cartridges.

Don't forget to try ar15.com! Great resource right there!

I changed out the buffer spring and that didn't help. Let me just say that I've only fired Hornady factory 45-gr...

As a matter of fact, I just got a new AR15 upper assembly in .204 for Christmas. I'm thinking it will be my ultimate pdog/coyote rifle as soon as I get it functio...
