[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 556270, member: 10291"] Quite a few things could cause a stove pipe. Questions , it is random or consistent, did it just start or has it always done this, tried different ammo, hand load or factory, is it a .556 or .223 chamber. Things I would look at in this order: Check ammo or try a different load. Check magazine or try another...lots of junk out there Make sure chamber is clean and action is wet Check extractor fit. Make sure the small rubber bumper didn't get lost during cleaning/ reassembly....most common cause or ejection problems. Check ejector button for tension and free movement. Check buffer/spring. Proper tension, is it clean. I have had several AR's over many years and found them to be extremely reliable if you follow some basic rules. Most problems come from bad ammo, improper assembly, or using mismatched components. Check gas pipe [/QUOTE]
