[QUOTE="trophyhusband, post: 892972, member: 70376"] My AR-15 recently started short stroking. I've been using just the carbine upper on the rifle lower that I built for a 6.5 Grendel that I've ordered. Could this be the cause of the short stroking? I'm working on developing an accurate hand load for this and I really think using this lower gives me a more solid base to shoot from than the collapsable stock that that goes with that upper. If the A2 buffer is the culprit, is it ok to still shoot it that way temporarily? I'm ok with checking that a round chambered between each shot while doing load development as long as it is safe and won't damage anything. Once I get the load worked out (and I think I'm close), I'll be putting my 4x scope and carbine lower back on it. Also, if it makes a difference, most accurate load so far has been the lightest load I've made so my future tests will be even lighter loads. (Short stroking has been happening with two different brands of factory ammo along with my hand loads.) [/QUOTE]
