2 years ago I bought a built ar-15 at a gun show that seemed almost like new. It has a DPMS lower but no markings on barrel or upper parts. After about 20 rounds it started failing to eject. I took it to reputable gunsmith
who said the extractor was bad and replaced it. A week ago it did it agin several times. I found out it is common on the carbine length gas system and I need an extractor spring up grade. I decided to order a new BCM bolt from
Bravo country and I installed it today. Works like a charm. But, am I going to have a recurrance? I also bought a Les Baer extractor and a new spring for the old bolt and some #60 o-rings. The new bolt came with with a Crane o-ring and it looks just like the #60 o-ring btw.
My question is should I upgrade the buffer? It's not marked so I guess it's a standard carbine weight. From what I understand, with a 16' carbine, an H2
buffer would be the way to go but would like advice from yuz guyz.
If I had it to do over I'd buy a factory rifle so I knew what I had and had a warranty. Also I think I would go rifle length.
