    Simple solution, grab your charging handle and if you need to, use the forward assist to get it taken care of.

    Guns are almost as dirty as talking about plumbing or construction.

    It's a simple fix assuming the headspace dimensions are the issue. Sometimes a short throat can cause the sticking.

    Sometimes the chamber has a more restrictive diameter and that is a little more involved.

    I'll gladly help however I can.

    If it's a headspace problem the gauges will
    detect it. The resolution is a different bolt head or we lap your existing bolt head in.

    If the throat is too short, I have a throat reamer to cut it to proper 5.56 specs.

    Thanks.

    I will PM you to figure out a time.
