AR-15 BS Thread

It's pretty cool, but it has it's quirks. The large side plates make it a bit cumbersome to work with and tightening everything down has to be done in a certain sequence or the alignment is all janky and you have to loosen everything and start over. At times the top plates could not thread on and I had to loosen it all and retighten. Other than that, it's great! 5 lowers cut and hardly any signs of wear.

 

BTW, if you need endmills, I get mine from these guys. Way better pricing than most other places I've found and the 4 flute versions cut a lot cleaner and faster that others I have seen in the past.

Man you have all the hookups with this! Those are an awesome price!

 

My google game is strong. I had to look for a while before I found them. Spent a lot of time on hold with customer service people that had no idea what I was talking about and a bunch of conversations with people that did know, but could not get me what I needed.

has a weird issue with shooting my AR Sunday. It fired off 3 rounds just fine, then it jammed with the feed. So i dropped the mag, cleared the jam and checked it all and then charged and shot one shot and it did it again. Since it was a new build i was a little frustrated but more curious as to why. So i experimented with my friends BCG and it did the same thing but after a full 10 round mag it stove piped on me. I have a T2 buffer in mine and mine is a mid length gas system. So i swapped buffers with the same friend who let me swap the BCG. Still randomly would jam. So i tried a different brand BCG from my brothers AR and everything worked flawless. The two BCGs my AR didnt like were BCM. The one it did like was a Spikes BCG and standard carbine buffer.

I also noticed, which i've found after googling that mid length's do not like PMC ammo. I was able to put about 5 mags through it with my brothers BCG and friends carbine buffer no issue. So i ordered a Spikes BCG and standard buffer. Hoping to go shoot this weekend and have no more hiccups. With non PMC ammo though.

 

Pic cause everyone likes pics

 

My first thought was to question if all 3 bolt carriers were Auto or Semi, but a quick check of BCM & Spike's websites shows their branded stuff is all Auto. Hopefully the new BCG will sort the problem for you.
