Yeah after the first two rounds, everything worked fine for the session.fired every time. I have been using rem oil and similar brands. But I might swap over to synthetic(Especially for this one). I might be over oiling this firearm causing some clogging somewhere for the gas feed? This is my first ar platform that is not DI.

I shot again had the same issue the first two rounds, HOWEVER, I think I may have found out the issue. I cleaned the gun prior to using again. I think my gun solvent is too light. I think I am going to switch to a heavier solvent. Then see the results. though I have used this same solvent on all of my systems. It is my only guess.

Guys took it out this morning it cycled perfectly. I haven't done anything different. I did take the buffer tube out and inspect it. it looked fine, went out this morning to shoot it just to see. about 15 rounds I had left all fired flawlessly. Going to pick up some more ammo just to see if it was a fluke. Let you know the results.

That is what I am thinking bought a new mag and a 3rd type of ammo, cleaned the gas tube out,even though not even 60 rounds now went through it. Needless to say it was clean. 2 times it actually loaded another round then went back to the normal crap. I contacted Adams Arms asking them to contact me. I took the BCG apart cleaned it, Needless to say again I didn't need to clean it. That cotter pin was fun to re insert lol. I have done everything. Looked to see if the BCG was hitting the walls(nothing) and the buffer tube looks new and functional as well. I have tried different grains expensive and cheap brands of ammo, Oiled it cleaned it, everything imaginable at this point. You I know guys could probably identify the problem in person, quickly. I am just not intelligent enough myself to detect the problem and find a solution. I tried to find a PDF owners manual to this firearm or a Youtube video of this model and break down. Can't find anything but a "one size fits all" pdf from the site, everything on the manual I know. Stumped. I really don't want to send it in and wait months on a return. They don't have a contact number so I can only email at this time. But I keep burning money here and I have done almost everything. -Travis

Yes, the bolt locks back into place but does not pick up a round, I tried the 1 round in the mag this morning, it didn't lock back on the empty mag. I will try to buy another magazine today. Unfortunately I believe it is a bolt or gas issue too. You guys have been awesome on the support. If only you guys lived closer LOL.

But I am thinking it is an under gassed issue too, I am not sure how it was working one session and quits the next.

After extraction is stays locked up. I always have to pull the charging handle to engage the next round.

Yes I tried all three settings with the same effect. It extracts the shells but refuses to chamber a fresh round. I may attempt to dismantle the BCG and clean it, being new I didn't think it would gunk up that quick. And greetings from Tennessee. EDIT: I ran a magnet across them and they >>>> *didn't* <<<stick a little edit here on the Original post I seen I mistakenly typed.

Additional info. I am having to manually chamber a round using the charging handle.

I haven't fired but 45 rounds or so. 15 or so was problematic. This is as far as I go on the breakdown for cleaning this time since It was my first time. My Ole bushmaster and my AK variant get full break downs. I thought maybe I didn't reinstall gas system right but I looked online and it is simple, maybe I am doing something wrong here. Or I hope it isn't some manufacturing flaw. I really don't want to send it off.

The second round of shooting I got nothing at all. I will try to oil more, I wonder if it is a gas issue. I really don't see how since it is basically a "fixed system". Not sure what I have don't wrong since I did a basic field strip and re assemble. I didn't take the bolt and bolt carrier apart, just took them out to clean the barrel and such. It just doesn't cycle rounds now. I thought about picking up a higher grain bullet tomorrow but I am not sure if it will work. I am at a loss.

I have an Adams arms AASF 308. It is brand new, a long story short I fired it today emptied a magazine no problem. a 20 round Pmag. well I noticed some metal shavings, I ran a magnet across them and they did stick so I think it is brass.(none of my other guns even do shavings) So did regular maintenance just clean up the gun and get the shavings out and re assemble it. About what i would normally do with my ar-15 and AK. So I later that day I wanted to fire it again and see if it would still shoot brass. After looking online and seeing you need to "break in the gun" However I chambered a round and it shot pull the trigger again and click, so the shell ejected but Nothing chambered tried again manually chambered the next round and the same happened, again and again. I tried taking the AR apart cleaning it tried the different setting on the gas tube the half then back to the full, and nothing. I am not sure what is going on, looked to see if I had over oiled the system and caused this however it is fairly right. I didn't see any oil in the gas tube My only guess is maybe oil is in the bolt? I am at a loss and it is really infuriating me. this gun is 3 days old. Didn't even get 100 rounds threw it. Yes I have used the same ammo. Tried different ammo too. This rifle is bone stock.
