Sounds good to me. Just shoot me a message. I think as of now there’s no ranges open anywhere near me. Haha. Hopefully this virus/plague will pass and we will all come out healthy still.

Just and Update. I could t find any of the Armalite buffer tube kits. So Inordered and Aero enhances kit along with a Tubbs flat spring. After everything installed it’s like a complete different rifle when feeding. The Tubbs spring is really smooth and quiet. All my mags load easily now. My Bolt catch also works now. I could t believe the issues that the m4 spring and buffer caused. Thanks for all the help guys

10/4. Thanks guys. I appreciate all the help

Dnp thanks man. I love the rifle. I wouldn’t sale it back. But integrity goes a long way. Much respect for him

Sounds good. I will most likely keep it regardless. I like the fact that they are quieter and smoother operating. I think this will solve the issue as well. It makes complete sense that this could be the problem

I will order one. Thank you for your help.

10/4 I will start there. Thanks man! I really appreciate it.

Would the orange spring solve my problem

It feeds fine with just a couple of cartridges in it. It only gets real tight on a half mag or full mag. matt what Spring for the buffer tube would you suggest? Also would I be alright ordering a Ranker arms Match Bolt for it instead of the plain DPMS BCG

Also. It’s right at 7 on the buffer tube itself. The camera angle must effect it. I remeasured because I could have sworn I got 7

I’m in Maggie Valley NC. That’s good to know. The guy I got it from promised it would shoot 1moa at 100. So eventually we will see. I just want it to be right before I go to the range and look like a dumb ass. Haha

I have no idea the weight of the Buffer. There is no manual with it, nothing. So I’m hoping I got a decent deal after I work this bug out of it. I swapped a Alexander arms .50 Beowulf for it.

I attached lengths etc in pictures. I’m assuming the D stamped on the Bolt is DPMS and the D 10 on the barrel is DPMS.

Negative on the adjustable gas block

I will take some pictures when I get off work and take some measurements. Should be around 1530 when I get it all done. Thank you!

Yesterday I shott some Barnes Vortex through it. It cycled the first two shots then double fed due to the shell not extracting all the way etc. i also tried to cycle some other cheaper American eagle reloaded surplus through it. Both seem to cycle the same. I’ve been cycling it as in charging the handle manually and then ejecting a shell etc. with the American eagle trying to tweak the mag lips on the DPMS magazine, the 6 rounds I fired from it were the only time so far that I had the double feed issue where one round Wich was fired didn’t eject all the way and it fed another during that cycle. Hopefully that makes sense. I did check the feed lips on the mags as well. They seem fine. The only thing I notice is that when the bolt is charged all the way to the rear it seems to be to far forward in my own judgment. But I could be wrong. It barely clears the last shell Wich could be a link with the bullets not feeding all the way. After writing all this. The dam rifle sounds like a train wreck

Hello! new guy here, happy to find a decent forum page to join. Look forward to sharing info and learning!

Hey everyone new guy here, i just swapped for a Mega Maten build with a guy. I have a few questions being this is my first Non factory rifle ever i inspected the rifle when I purchased it being Inwas in the army 14 years I’m quite knowledgeable on parts etc and things to look for on factory rifles but it’s is a entire new animal. . First a little info on the rifle 1. the previous owner Purchased it from a dealer said it ran great and shoots excellent However it does not and I can’t get ahold of the guy. Go figure. 2. I’ve been getting failures with the bolt not feeding rounds into the Chamber. Seems like a magazine issue, however sometimes it’s hard to manually eject a round, as in pulling the charging handle. It’s better with Pmags but gets worse with DPMS mags. Seems to fire okay with the pmags but had a double feed on the 3rd shot. 3. The Barrel is a Rainier Arms, not sure which model though seems like a medium barrel 18”, i can’t find it on their website, not sure of the Bolt brand either, has a rubber insert on ejector instead of spring, single stage milspec trigger, unsure of brand, the main question I have is the Bolt being a little hard to pull back only when rounds are fed, could this be a headspace issue? The bolt cycles very smooth otherwise. second question is should I order a Rainier arms Bolt Since I have no clue what brand this bolt is? Could that fix my problem with feed issues. i added some pictures as well. I really thought it was a fine rifle when I checked it out. Everything seemed excellent t in the build quality. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
