Also, everybody says the same thing you guys said about soft points…. Keep them for a bolt gun. Ive not had problems with them as of yet. But ive only got 250rds through it 40 of which were sp. but man I love that barrel/ebr combo

Hey, no offense taken. Thats my downfall with everything in life. Every year around christmas, this mentality get me humbled. Last year it was by a bouncer at the bar. I said to myself, “thats a big dude, but I bet I could whip his ass up and down the street”. I woke up 2 minutes later staring into the night sky…. But anyway, I appreciate all the good info. It turns out Armed Eye Doc was correct. That left feed lip was slightly bent during shipping on the Lancer Mag. Also after playing around with your breakdown of my parts, and shooting the rifle, your point on the ubr tube was somewhat helpful. It ran like a champ, but the tube was definitely hindering performance. I now have a PRS lite with the Aero M5e carbine buffer set up back. It is a great gun. I was also able to shoot someones scar and FAL when at the range, and I feel like my Aero blew them put of the water with accuracy and recoil. Thanks again everybody. I appreciate all of your help!

Huh, thats a good idea I wasnt even thinking about the mag. Im going to try what you said when I get home and see what happens. Thanks

I tried both, same result. Its almost like the rim of the cartridge is dragging (federal vital shoks 155gr)

Hey hows everybody doing? I decided I wanted to get into shooting .308. Ive never had one before or built anything other than a few glocks. But I am an engineer, have designed and built houses, cars etc…. So I figured wtf how hard could it be to throw together a lr 308? I thought it went smooth, until I got everything together and tried to hand cycle a few rounds. First rack chambered a round perfectly, bcg went into battery, everything was fine. I pulled the charging handle, it ejected beatifully…. But then the next round chambered half way. The bolt wasnt fully closed and no mattery what I did, the round wouldnt seat properly or eject. I hand to take the upper off of the lower and pull the round out. Heres the parts List: -Aero M5e1 upper & lower with 15” enhanced handguard -Aero LPK minus FCU & Bolt catch -B.A.D. Extended lr 308 bolt catch -Geissele SSA-E Lightning Bow -Aero m5 nickel boron BCG -Aero m5 enhanced carbine length buffer system -Radian Raptor ar10 charging handle -18” spikes/fn .308 chf cl barrel (although its stamped 7.62, spikes says both are guaranteed by fn) -Superlative arms .750 adjustable gas block -Spikes proprietary length gas tube -Precision Armament EFAB (with pa crush washer) -Magpul UBR gen 2 stock -Midwest 30mm qd scope mount -Trijicon accupoint tr26 2.5-12.5x green moa -Arisaka 35deg offset mount -Holosun 508t red dot -Magpul MBUS front and rear flip ups -DD enhanced vfg -Magpul bi pod -Lancer L7awm 10rd trans smoke mag Everything was put together with proper tools, torqued to spec and lubed better than an elizabeth nj escort. I would just appreciate a little input as to whether this is something I should be worried about (like take to a gunsmith to get a green light). I’ve read that lr 308 builds have a pretty extensive breaking in time. Ive now tried hand cycling it 4 times, and after the first round cycles perfectly, the second always does the same thing. Thanks for your guys help.
