Kenneth Lee Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 I am a new member and am late to the party. I aquired a DPMS Oracle from an estate sale along with a couple of hundred rounds of LC 175 gr, LROT ammo. The first few rounds were Tulamo steel. First round fired and cycled, next round half-cycled, tried two more with the same results and ended up with brokenn cases and had to drive it out of the chamber. After that it did it with the LC factory loads. I replaced the barrel, gas block and tube. It didn't help, I replaced the BCG same problem. Seems strange after replacing all these parts it won't cycle and to extract an empty takes a Dowel and a Hammer hitting it harder than I would like.
98Z5V Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 The steel cased. Get rid of it. There's alot more that needs addressed. New gun? Old gun? First shots fired, and you used the steel cased? You picked up a "DPMS Oracle" - but was it a factory built gun, or something that someone built? Here's the kind of information that we need, to solve this over the internet. And get rid of the steel cased ammo, whilst trying to work this problem out. Check it:
