    Shame to hear it wasn't cycling. Any idea why?

    I believe it’s gas system related. It fires, and ejects fine, but doesn’t strip the next round out of the mag.

    The original buffer was in pretty bad shape and it looked like the tube had been worked on at some point along with the buffer spring binding for some reason.

    But it’s this >< close.

    I ended up with someones AR vise clamp.

    Please claim it & i will return to owner ;)

    I think it might be mine, but don't sweat it. If I ever need one again I'll get one. Consider it a raffle prize.

    Again it was great to meet everyone and hang out with a fine bunch of folks for the morning. I hope to be able to go again in the future. Also thanks to Texas Star Range, that's a nice place to meet up.

    Magazine lock causing the mag to sit just a bit too high?
    BCG not riding over the top of the mag properly?

    Thanks to everyone. It was good to see y'all again.
    Reunion was a lot of fun. Weather turned out really nice.
    Watching the AR go together was a hoot.
    The Mrs. has already appropriated the nifty LED light won in the raffle. LoL.
    The AR build was very entertaining. All 7 times we put it together......
