Happy to be here
I put together a rifle a while back and haven't shot it yet. I finally am getting around to making ammo for it and tonight when chambering some dummy rounds I realized that the buffer is bottoming out in the tube not allowing the bcg to go all the way back and it will not strip a round off a mag from bolt lock. I discovered the issue when I noticed that the bolt catch was actually catching the front of the bcg itself instead of the front of the bolt.
I swapped the upper onto a rifle with a carbine buffer/tube/spring and it functions normally. I swapped the carbine buffer into the a2 tube with the rifle spring and it will lock back correctly but over travels because of the short buffer.
Do I have the incorrect buffer for the a2 tube?
