I finally had a chance to get out to the range and put some holes in paper using my 16 arp barrel.
I was a little confused with all of cycling issues I had. I ended up oiling the BCG like crazy for it to only hickup every 3rd rd.
I was using Hornady and S&B.
Both shot great out of the barrel. I was shooting small clovers on every target I shot.
So I go home and inspect my upper suspecting my gas block or or tube to be leaking or be misaligned but they weren't. No leaking. etc.
Then I hit the internet and read about all that gas leaking, light loads, fast powder, tight upper/bcg fit, lube, buffer and buffer spring etc.
Finally come across ARP stating that gas port on the mid-length is not for use on A2 buffer system.... Oh! My bad.
So sounds like I can just make the switch to a carbine stock setup right and it should work. This Is my hope.
Either that or I can enlarge the gas port so i can use it with the A2 stock.
Question. If i switch to a carbine buffer tube/buffer should it be strong enough to run with a Tubb Buffer spring?
