Help!!
I'm having some fail to feed issues with my S&W M&P 15 Carbine. The gun will fire the first round in the magazine and eject the spent casing but it fails to pick up the next round. It shoots like a bolt action very well. I've done just about everything besides buying a new upper. I've cleaned the heck out of it, switched to polymer magazines (Tapco, CAA, and Tango Down), now I have ordered a heavier buffer to see if carrier rebound is the cause.
It has done this in bone stock configuration and with the recent mods I've made to it. I've installed a Talon muzzlebrake, quad rail, and a RRA National Match 2 stage trigger. If the buffer replacement does not fix the problem I will try a heavy buffer spring. If this does not work however, I will hit the wall on options.
Any help will be appreciated
