Yesterday i was shooting my AR15 and after a bit click. Tried a couple more and click again. Tool the upper off and noticed the buffer retainer spring was in the action and mangled. Looked like the hammer may have smashed it or something. Also, the buffer retainer had a small indention on the bottom of it, and was not it the hole it is suppose to live in.
Any ideas what may have caused this failure?
I have bought new lower hardware parts, but somewhat concerned why it happened in the 1st place?
Its an A2 fixed stock if that matters on a delton lower and psa carbine length upper. This has been solid for several thousand of rounds. Did a pin just wear out or something or is there a more serious problem going on?
