    I'm not a gunsmith, but I am a Smith, so I have an opinion. Doesn't this sound like a rough chamber? It would seem to me that must be looked at.

    Could be. The brass usually indicates a rough chamber (frosted).

    Otherwise a bore scope inspection is a good idea as well.

    I am of the opinion that if it is not immediately obvious what is wrong with my AR pattern rifle, I am going to spend far less time and money letting Clandestine work on it than I would trying to troubleshoot it myself. Large frame AR parts in particular are not cheap, and I would generally prefer to spend what range time I get these days shooting rather than fiddling.

    I sincerely appreciate the confidence you have in my work. Thank you my friend.

    I find Clandestine "pre-checks" useful too, although I do feel guilty have given him PSA complete uppers (3?) in the past which invariably have required work, such that I know I've gotten my money's worth. He's still nice to me though.

    Broken ejector spring (or bits of primer stuck in ejector tube, or peened breechface.

    ARs run overgassed, AR10s run really overgassed. With that in mind I would: install a crazy heavy buffer and spring, replace ejector spring and clean out ejector tube
