[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 687149, member: 19778"] I have an Armalite AR-10 308 24 inch SS BBL that I bought used, it shoots nice, but the last time I went out it was jamming. I'll try to describe the details. What it was doing is not extracting the spend 308 case and jammed it back into the action, smashing the case mouth. I took it apart cleaned the Bolt carrier all up oiled it and action. Took out the Buffer spring cleaned and and lightly oiled it.. and now it works. BUT I am not sure ehat was wrong because it did not seem dirty, I cleaned and oiled the BCG and action 30 rounds before the jam in the 1st place, It did this will all the magazines 10's 20's 25's with only 3 to10 rounds in them A friend of mine who was with me with his AR-15 says he thinks the Buffer spring is too heavy. It has a Tronstone stock if anyone has ever heard of it. He thinks it has a heavy duty spring in it to reduce recoil the precious owner might have put in. but since he is used to Ar-15 with a much lighter buffer spring who is to say what heavy is to him. he could be right, as it seems to jam when oil is not drenched on parts, and I think maybe the buffer spring is a heavy one and everything has t o be perfectly oiled up for the cases to extract, any slight friction and the action does not go far back enough. I am a Bolt guy, so I am new to the AR platform and this is just my mechanical guess. and I could be way off here. Any help from you pros would be great. I am shooting right now 168 SMK, 24.0 H4895. Not a max load, but not a light load either my plan is to shoot 125 to 150's once my 168 are used up I am worried it will not function with 125's or even 150's even when oiled up. does AR10's need to be drenched in oil to function? does this seem like a gas port issue?. thanks [/QUOTE]
