Why is my AR-15 not chambering next round?
A common cause of failure to chamber is that the bolt carrier group has not moved forward with enough force to complete the operation of feeding/chambering ammunition or to lock the bolt in place.
Why is my AR-15 not cycling properly?
Cycling issues can be created by having a buffer that is either too heavy or too light. We recommend that you get an H or H2 buffer for your gun for safety. Another issue with the buffer spring is that it may be too old. An aged buffer spring can prevent the AR from correctly chambering the following round.
Why does my AR-15 fail to eject?
A Failure to Extract occurs when the empty cartridge of a just-fired round remains in the chamber. Along the same vein, a Failure to Eject happens when the empty cartridge is extracted from the chamber but remains stuck in your rifle. Either way, the next round will fail to feed.
Why is my AR-15 misfiring?
The main causes for this type of malfunction are fouling of the bolt carrier group, fouling of the chamber, and a weak or broken extractor spring. In the case of the first two you’ll simply need to clean them up before resuming fire, but if it is the spring you’ll need to purchase a new one.
What causes AR-15 short stroke?
Short-stroking may be associated with a failure to stagger the slots in the gas rings on the bolt, a broken, bent or plugged gas tube, or carbon or dirt in the carrier or upper receiver. Even going from a lighter to a heavier hammer spring may cause a marginally-functioning system to short-stroke.
