I took a trip to the range today to break in a rifle I recently built and thought I had everything gtg until I broke down my rifle to clean it. Upon inspection, I found that the outer edge of my buffer had been struck by my retaining pin several times. I googled the issue and found multiple answers, but none that seem to apply. This is not a BCG burr issue. I found a suggestion to look at the buffer right as you are closing the upper down and there appears to be a gap as there should be. I checked it against my factory LWRC rifle and the gap appears to be the same.
The lower (and upper) is from RRA. I googled that they had a problem with out of spec lowers. This lower was purchased many years ago and it COULD be the problem, but seeing the gap between the pin and the buffer seems to say otherwise.
BCG and Buffer is spikes.
I did tinker with my adjustable gas block and felt that I left the range with the rifle somewhat overgassed.
The only idea I have right now is to swap in another BCG/Buffer or both and see if the problem persists. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
