[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 2496679, member: 98068"] I put the original buffer spring back in, set the gas block to 4.5 turns out. I then took a 10 round magazine with the lips turned out just a bit. Loaded it with 10 rounds of ammo and all the rounds fired without fail. The brass all landed in a little pile at the 5 o clock position. [ATTACH type="full"]355992[/ATTACH] The brass only had a minor ding on the case mouth so I thought all was working well. The bolt locks open after the last round as well. [ATTACH type="full"]355993[/ATTACH] I played around with a 15 round mag with modified lips and 10 rounds installed as well. They all fired without fail. I went through a total of 80 rounds and not a single failure. During the testing I also adjusted the gas setting a little as well and settled in on a position that put the brass in a pile at the 4 o-clock position. The final 10 rounds at 100 yards went into .5" The wind was blowing around my little target so I am happy with that. [ATTACH type="full"]355994[/ATTACH] It looks like adjusting the lips on the magazine was the issue. I guess I should have asked the internet earlier rather than blowing through so much ammo trying to figure it out. Thank you for all of you who provided feedback and assisted me in solving this issue. [/QUOTE]
