I finally got everything together for my SBR and ran a few rounds through it in 5.56 and 300blk.
In 5.56, it's kicking the brass forward, which I was told was a sign of being overgassed? I put a H buffer in it and it's still kicking them forward. It's a left hand Stag upper at 10.5in
My lefty 300blk is 9in and seems to be kicking them out the proper direction with both 220 and 147gr. Each case has a good sized nick on the casing midway up though.
Will the over gas accelerate the wear on the 5.56 upper? Is there a heavier buffer out there that would fix this? I would prefer to not have to mess with the gas block or tube but will if I need to.
