I forgot to mention that I replaced the bcg with a full auto carrier, but the buffer is OEM. _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The ~~said~~ Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Had him shave the steel block COLT put in those Sporters to plug the third hole. I'll check that slop issue mid-week and report back. _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The ~~said~~ Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Hard to tell from the blurry pic...it kinda looks like the outer rim of the buffer is nicked up as well. If so that means the buffer is constantly contacting the retainer pin after every cycle. Dan is spot on...the buffer shouldn't contact the pin unless the upper is clear. I'm suspect of your carrier. I've never seen that kind of damage, even after thousands of rounds. Make sure that carrier has a "C" on it, on the left side below the key. If you still have the original semi auto carrier...reinstall it and a new Colt buffer and run it for a couple hundred rounds. See if it reoccurs. _________________ "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living". -- Travis A Kisner
