Yeah, try bumping the push-thingy. I forgot the name, lol

Forward assist

And if that doesn't work, literally rack it back and release, allow it to slam into battery

Ahh yes, the assist, lol

I'm building an AR this weekend and don't remember part names XD

*when your gun jams because you bought an Anderson so you smash the forward assist until the brass is permanently deformed into the chamber*

Nothing moves if I hit the forward assist

Lol I don't have anything loaded

Dummy rounds come Sunday

Don't be a bitch my boy. It's a gun, not a toy.

Tear that shit apart until you fix it.

That's what I'm doing

Trying to use the marketplace of ideas to gather professional consensus. Is my gas block too far back possibly?

Not likely... your bolt doesn't really seem bad, and they tend to have an area where they rest.

Definitely disassemble. Look at anything that could interfere with the rear lug. Gas block wouldn't do anything.

I've had a similar issue before, and it was the hammer getting in the way I think.. Or something. It was something simple I forgot about

Gonna take it all apart and start over

Mostly, anyway

Just a slight overhang

Even if j crank the buffer back a bit, the bolt catches on the top inner edge of my lower

I recently ran into a similar situation with my AR pistol and I'm not sure how it happened.

Ok y'all, sorry if this has been beaten to death already but..BCM vs LWRC. Seen both at about the same price point, hear good about both. What do y'all think?

My freedom is just a few cm of heat treated aluminum away

I've heard LWRC is a bit above BCM. But BCM is known for their reliability.

I like the BCM handguard I bought, wouldn't have gotten a different one in hindsight. Very tight fight but...I like it that way

And LWRC is more expensive

BCM parts are very tight, I hear taking their rifles apart past a field strip is a bitch, lol

But also a pro of buying them.

I've always kinda been told that for a "field" rifle you should at least go BCM. But lwrc seems to always be mentioned next. Trying to sort out competition rifles from actual working rifles on the higher tier stuff basically to figure out what I want for the next toy purchase.

My first attachment? 1000 rounds of ammo

Then onto greener pastures

I've heard good things on LWRC... but every time I hear about working rifles, I hear about BCM. And another rifle I've read good things on, is the Barrett REC7

I've always been curious about the Barrett stuff but I know absolutely no one with any hands on experience with them. Same with KAC and Hodge. Read good stuff but can't find anyone who's ever pulled a trigger

KAC is good stuff, been up and close with then. No idea on Hodge, and I'd like to get a hold of a REC7 because It's like an HK416 that's not 4,000+ hahaha

Haha yeah. I'll throw some money down for quality but $4k is a little much.

Granted, they still MSRP at 2,500. But I'd rather pay that than 4k

You and me both. $2500 is pretty much my absolute limit.

I don't even wanna pay that.. but it is a short-stroke piston-driven AR.

I would prefer to not pay that either, just saying if there was a rifle that did absolutely everything I wanted short of reaching down and giving me a handjob everytime I shot it, then yeah.

Any 308/30-06 rifles yall would suggest for an into rifle for precision shooting?

Depends on your price range and platform
