I am assembling a new 300 Blackout from components, and have run into a bit of a road block.
The charging handle will often only move about 1/2" before it stops cold, or if it makes it past the initial 1/2", it feels like it is catching something on the way back. It may even freeze going back into battery. It never feels free and smooth.
At first, I thought the cause was the Wilson Combat trigger I selected, as I never noticed this behavior until the trigger in question was installed. However, when I removed the trigger, the charging handle continued to behave in the same manner.
When I removed the BCG and charging handle for closer inspection, I noticed wear on the tip of the charging handle, additional wear where the charging handle engages the BCG beneath the gas key, and wear on the "roof" of the upper receiver where the charging handle rides.
Is this merely a matter of incompatible components, or is something else afoot? Perhaps a buffer spring issue...?
Is the wear that I noticed significant enough for me to pursue replacing these components?
Thanks!
