[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3646805, member: 48072"] Could be that your spring is too heavy, I have no idea what you purchased. Usually that isn't the case with a standard spring/buffer, and I'd be cautious elsewhere. Did you also lubricate it to the point where it was just soaked and leaking everywhere. Large frame guns really like to be run wet until they're broken in. If you're not drying off the outside of the receivers with a shop towel after a couple shots, you are too dry. So many possibilities. By the time I finished troubleshooting my first large frame AR, I had a pretty good confidence in my AR building skills. I never suspected an obstucted gas tube or undersized gas port, so I played with everything. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted, I'd be interested to find out what it was. [/QUOTE]
