[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2132626, member: 111161"] If it only jams with 5.56 ammo, it could just be over gassed. 5.56 ammo being higher pressure may be causing the bolt to unlock too early, causing extraction/ejection issues. If the ammo chambers and ejects fine cycling by hand (muzzle pointed in a safe direction), but only hangs up upon firing, I would bet this is the case. If that is the problem, a heavier buffer, stiffer spring, or adjustable gas block will be the answer. The buffer is probably the easiest to try. If is has a carbine receiver extension, the standard carbine buffer weighs 3.0oz. Going to an H1 3.8oz, or H2 4.3 oz buffer will slow down the cycle and help tremendously. If it has an A2 Rifle extension, then it has a rifle buffer 5.2oz and there’s not really any options to change to. Changing the spring to a Springco Green or JP polished rifle spring might help, but an adjustable gas block would be the best answer here. [/QUOTE]
