My Bushmaster XM15 is experienceing occasional failures to feed.
The spent case ejects fine but the fresh cartridge seems to be getting hung up on the ramp and does not go all the way into the chamber.
What are the possible causes.
Old main spring?
Dirty ramp?
Have not oiled for a couple of months?
Burr in the ramp?
Bolt is not moveing smoothly in its tracks?
This does not appear to be a stovepipe issue, but I could change the extractor spring.
I do not know how to change the ejector spring.
Thank you in advance.
