Hit Brownells this afternoon and my replacement parts under $5.00 should be on the way Monday. Thank you to everyone for their help. Looking forward to getting this fixed and back to the range. I pray this will be all the issues I will have with this rifle because I really want to like it.

I will have to buy another pin because the one that came out is bent to kingdom come. I thought the tube could have had one more turn and it might have captured the pin better.

I will get some pictures in the morning. Yes to the above question, it did break the end of the buffer tube. The rifle was purchased through Bud's Gunshop.

I hardly have ever bought a brand new gun. After watching and looking at the DPSM G2 I decide to buy a Recon G2. It arrived two weeks ago. After a good cleaning and some lube I took it to the range today. I thought I would dial in my EOTECH. I did that pretty quick. The recoil is nice and easy. It is a lot smoother than the M1A I had been going to keep, but decided to sale. Around about the 23-27 rounds I had a misfire. The round had a very light primer strike and I found that odd. I chambered another round and the same thing. I pulled the takedown and the buffer retainer flew out. I started looking at the buffer retainer and it is bent. I found the spring in the trigger assembly. As I looked closer you could see where the buffer retainer had broke through the buffer tube. New rifle less than 30 rounds. It was too late to get a hold of DPMS for warranty service so I will do that on Monday. By the way when you call the warranty service for DPMS the voice mail is for Bushmaster. I did not know they were one in the same. I knew that Remington had bought in to DPMS. Anyone ever have the buffer retainer break through the buffer tube before? By the way the ammo was was just PMC .308 factory loads.
