[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2276254, member: 423"] If, as you said, it cycles back far enough, then there are two possible issues: something is either hanging, or not generating enough return force. Has it done this since the beginning? Or did this start recently? Changing lowers eliminates the low return force, as the only thing generating return force is the buffer spring; the spring is in the lower, if you changed [I]complete[/I] lowers, then the spring isn't the issue. If changing BCGs doesn't fix the problem, there is an issue with the upper. I would look for burs or debris in the bolt carrier channel. I guess low lubrication *could* cause this (higher friction), but I would think to generate enough force to completely stop the bolt it would have to be nearly or completely dry. [/QUOTE]
