[QUOTE="JesseR, post: 1506797, member: 5258"] Rob, I'd like to thank you for the one and only suggestion to my problem! [b]Range Update[/b] So I was able to visit the range this weekend and work with the 9mm AR... It was a positive experience and I was able to successfully put 200 rds of ammo down the pipe. This was factory WWB, Federal, Remmy, in addition to my special reloads. All few nicely and the gun ran very well. What did I do? 1) Well I weighed all of my buffers and found one was about 3oz and the other was much heavier. I couldn't be sure since my scale can't go above 3oz. From internet searching I found a buffer spacer might be needed, and could only cost $1.75 in quarters put down the buffer tube. ([url]http://suburbansdomain.blogspot.com/2010/06/175-solution-to-9mm-ar-15-problem.html[/url]) 2) Reviewed both BCG's and cleaned them both VERY WELL! I still need to replace the extractor on the Ramped bolt, but it performed very well today. 3) Magwell - Took the new bottom loading magwell, with a hammer, I worked the ejector so it would ride very close to the bolt, but did NOT touch the bolt. I then adjusted the placement of the ejector so it was sure to hit the center of the brass. 4) Mags - I had a variety of new and old C-Products 32 rd (Version 1 & 2) Magazines.
