Excellent! Nothing better than proper function. We need to get together and shoot sometime.

Welcome from NC

I've never seen a lefty version of a large AR, there's probably one out there somewhere but I wouldn't know where to point you....

Which buffer fixed your issue?

It takes a while to learn to enjoy it too. At first he let's you believe he'll stop doing it if just get your act together and straighten up.... It's not true.

Can you pull the bolt face behind the bolt catch using the charging handle?

Buffer is probably too long, post up specs on your recoil system: buffer tube internal depth, and buffer length at a minimum.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet this is the same deal that plagued me for years with the buffer that was too long.

Here's another without the suppressor...

I have their SPR barrel in 6.5 Grendel, and the short answer is yes, the barrel profile is exactly correct for the collar. That's the Ops Inc 12th model with brake and collar mounted on my BA 6.5 Grendel SPR barrel.

Your best bet is probably their lower. It looks like DPMS pattern, but that's looks, not a guarantee.

Welcome from NC! Make yourself right at home....

I shot suppressed and unsuppressed at long range for years with standard recoil system components, ie. what has already been recommended to you. You're overthinking this just a bit. The only change I've made with regards to that was an adjustable gas block to rebalance the gas forward/gas rearward ratio. Do a standard Armalite buffer/tube/spring combo and be done with it until you have the experience needed to understand the nature of the modifications that will perfect it.

No problem, if it doesn't fix your problem or at least work better, I'll buy it from you and pay the shipping. I can use it for a spare if it doesn't help you.

Here's what I've been using in my Mega Arms for almost 10 years now.... http://www.davidtubb.com/bufferspring-sr-ar10

BCG isn't your problem. It's good kit. The mag issue is telling the story on what's happening here. The right recoil spring will send the BCG into battery regardless of how full the mag is. This could also account for part of the feeding problem. Don't change more than one component at a time, you'll quickly get lost as to what's actually the component at fault.

You're well within the margin of error. It's possible your chamber is slightly tight and could just do with a bit of light polishing. The double feed is entirely a magazine issue, not hard to fix that. My money is on your recoil spring.

The good news is that 95% of your kit is really good kit. At most a spring, buffer, or gas port upsizing will get you sorted out. You're probably close enough to me we could get together and work through it.

Suppressor weight and overall suppressor effectiveness will also factor into the equation. A very effective suppressor will capture enough gas to drastically reduce muzzle rise, but also sends more gas to the receiver area. A heavier suppressor will not only reduce muzzle rise, but also tame the effect of the extra gas to the recoil system.

Welcome from near Hickory, NC.

That's with Red Bull in your coffee and your eyes closed too.

If it's already ordered, try it out and see what you get. If nothing else, it may benefit someone else who is thinking of going the same route. The Fulton Armory barrel has proven to be an exceptional barrel for the better part of a decade in my own experience, along with others here, at every distance from arms reach to 1000 yards and slightly beyond.

Absolutely!

I would be hurt if you didn't.
