Hey everyone,
Im posting this for a friend of mine. He is having quite a few problems with a Bushmaster AR-15 he bought not too long ago. A few questions for ya... First, and foremost, he cleans it religously. Keeping it in immaculate condition at all times. The biggest aggrevation he is having is that it is not feeding right. The round is getting stuck when it is being fed into the chamber. When it does fire, it will eject the shell. Mainly using Wolf .223. Ive tried to tell him to use better ammo. Even though i use exclusively Wolf in my AK, and havent had any problems (well one or 2 duds) in cases and cases of ammo. Ive probably put around 6 or 7,000 rounds thru my WASR-10 and have only cleaned it once. It really is starting to piss him off, because he spent alot of money on it, and its still not reliable. Pissing him off even more when i put so much ammo through my AK and it never skips a beat. I try not to rub it in, but its hard.
Anyway, i want to help him out, so im on here troubleshooting. My friends usually come to me when they have a question on guns, and when i have a question i come on here. You guys rock, very helpfull and lots of info.
He has tried Winchester, Remington, Wolf, Black Hills and even some of his own reloads. Talking to a few guys at gunshops, they are saying to not use wolf, because of the laquer finish melts and gums up the action. Hell, i even bought him 2 brand new magazines to see if that would help. Hopefully ive painted the scenario well enough. Thanks for reading this.
