I had my Colt preban AR15 for over 5 years but had never fired it in it's full load .223 until this past weekend. Up until last weekend I had fired my AR15 on numerous occasions with a .22 conversion kit without any major issues. But this weekend when I tried shooting it with .223's (5.56 Cal) I had failures to cycle. I tried shooting with different mags and different loads and it still wouldn't cycle other than by hand. I noted that I did not hear the spring compress on my collapsible stock. I am sure that I have the proper spring recoil buffer (?) because it came with the stock.
I don't know if this would cause it but the bolt and upper receiver were fairly dry. I have heard that shooting .22 LR's can be very dirt and can foul the gas tube but I don't know how to check this. Is there a way to remove the gas tube and which is the best way to clean it? How do I fix this issue?
