Having a problem with my build

Recommended Posts

I've looked through all the threads on this topic and still can't figure this out. My gun is bot cycling properly. I put the gas block all the way open and it ejects but does not load the next round. Sometimes it stovepipes, other it won't eject the brass. 

My build is

aero m5 upper/lower

Luth-ar .308 buffer assembly 

aero nickel BCG

wilson combat super sniper fluted 20" barrel

SLR sentry adj gas block

aero rifle length gas tube. 

the only thing i can think of is maube the gas tube is too short. Its a rifle length and its the second tube ive tried with no luck.

Define Luth recoil system.

Rifle?

Carbine?

What weight and length buffer?

There is a thread called Waterboarding.

That is the kind of information we need to help you fix your gun.

Rifle length. Buffer is 5.4oz, rifle length buffer tube, barrel is 20" with rifle length gas system and gas tube is 15.125" in length. After researching all day I found that wilson combat maybe a little off milspec tolerances. I noticed their rifle length gas tubes are 15.5" long so maybe I have to use their gas tube for there barrels. I dunno. I gave it a shot, hopefully it works.
