Hey guys
I was out yesterday and had a few rounds that the shoulder was damaged on the brass on ejection, one that got hung up in the chamber. I have had a few pieces of brass hang up in the chamber but no damage to the brass.
I did change the stock on the gun, I was using a carbine length stock with a carbine buffer spring and a standard buffer. I changed it to a rifle length stock (California needs to be fixed soon), I used a standard rifle length buffer spring and a standard rifle buffer.
The loads that I was shooting were well below the danger zone, I was shooting 225 FTX with 38-39 grains of little gun some with a taper only and some with LCD only. I cant recall if it was one or both of the crimps that caused the problem. The brass had been reloaded 4 times. On ejection it was kicking rounds out pretty robustly at about 2:00, I was using a brass catcher so I couldn't tell you how far but it would hit the back of the net of the catcher.
I assume the buffer or spring is to light but not sure? I have been thinking about an adjustable gas block but thought I would check with you all.
Thanks for your help
