[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 3923805, member: 40794"] Problem solved. So after talking with [USER=41176]@JEVapa[/USER], people at Tubbs, Aero and Magpul, my problem was my buffer tube. I think I have this terminology correct, but the UBR uses an A5 system. 7 3/4” deep, longer than a Carbine and shorter than a Rifle. Everyone recommend the Tubbs 308AR flat wire spring. Also the H2 Carbine Buffer. Magpul guy said he's running an H3 to slow the dwell time even more, but that's for a later date. I found a Tubbs 308AR spring here locally (last one I think) and an H2 Carbine Buffer. Fingers crossed, loaded 5 mags with one round each of 2500ish FPS 175 BTHP. Gas port fully open, each locked back perfectly. Next, I load 5 rounds in two mags. Fired each mag from bolt lock and it locked back both times and cycled perfect. Lastly I loaded one round, topped the mag at 20 rounds and fired. Runs as it should now. Soft shooter too. Very soft. I did try and tune the gas block some, got down to 3 positions in comfortably, but I'll leave it open for now until my R2 gets here. Thanks again for all the help OSA! [/QUOTE]
