So I finally got done with my build and took it out the other day to test out the new gun and had some problems.
First I must say I made some modifications that could be contributing:
-Converted to a Low Profile gas block to allow the installation of a Samson 15" rail
-Changed receiver extension tube to rifle length to allow PRS stock
-Used a home made Buffer Spring Spacer to allow the use of stock buffer and spring. (spacer was made by copying the length and diameter of a S&W factory spacer)
The problem is the rifle would not pick up the next round. It would fire, eject the round, but not pick up and load the next. I came to the conclusion that the rifle was short stroking and the BCG was not traveling far enough rearward to pick up the next round.
I decided to take out the spacer and then the gun functioned with out problems but I could feel the buffer hitting the back of the tube.
Anyone else have a problem when they changed to a rifle length extension tube?
I'm thinking maybe the gas block is not lined up exactly and it is being under gassed and not able to cycle due to a tighter buffer spring with the spacer installed.
My next plan of attack is to try different length buffer spring spacers to try and adjust the tension on the spring. Any thoughts?
