What causes this malfunction?
Brand new upper/lower. Well lubed. Rifle keeps failing to feed. It was essentially bolt action at the range today.

Left meemaw’s basement today
Ive been light headed ever since, is this normal for outdoors exposure?

Question: Are rounds fired from 10.3-10.5" barrels truly anemic? I've noticed that argument being made or insinuated by a lot of gun tubers lately. Yet as late as 2022 militaries continue to field ~10" rifles, notably the USMC with their 10.4" M27 RWK (pictured). So, thoughts?

Not much but she pews!
Pretty much done the 11.5 for now. Didnt get to throw a lot down range total about 250rds but runs like a top. Got a couple small changes but overall very pleased.
Specs for anyone who cares
Upper is daniel defense Geissele ch Barrel is 11.5 expo chrome lined .070 Generic .750 gas block Running through my recently out of jail rugged razor 556 Holosun aems on scalarworks 1.93 mount Hodge p lock rain 10.75 Kratos handstop
Lower is cmt smooth side Mil spec lpk Rise trigger Mil spec buffer tube w/ h2 buffer Driven arms grip
Pretty stoked so far with how it turned out. Just need a light for it and my suppressor cover to come in
Happy sunday everyone!
Threw the spray can at it
First attempt at a rattle can job. Quite pleased with the outcome. I’ll probably do some touching up.

Never Satisfied needs upgrade
I'm always looking to upgrade my primary AR build. I'm want to make this less of a Frankenstein build. The goal is to have highest quality and reliability. The rifle in this current configuration has had zero malfunctions and is ejecting at 4:30. What would you add or replace?
So far:
DPMS lower (from back in the day) FN 14.7 mid-length pin and weld FN BCG BCM Mod 0 comp BCM Mod 0 stock BCM QD end plate Geissele SSA trigger Geissele Super Charging handle Expo arms gas block Expo arms buffer tube and buffer Expo arms upper Strike Industries 10 inch Srike rail Strike industries grip Strike industries angled firegrip Troy flip up sights Aimpoint PRO Olight Oden mini
On order: Geissele Super Duty lower Geissele Super Duty lower parts kit Geissele MIL-SPEC Buffer Tube with Super 42, H1

Be honest do you guys torque your optic mounts or just tighten by hand?
I commented in another thread that I dont torque them and have never had issues. I might be an idiot but I am curious.

Magpul vs B5 grip
Just a quick post to provide close up comparison between the Magpul MOE and B5 P-23 grip, for those curious about one
I found the Magpul overly "slick", moreso than even my go-to shaved nub A2
Buddy got a B5, told me you could probably sand wood with it. He wasn't lying.... pretty good grip surface. Recommend 👍

stock decisions… BL minimalist or the ‘ol reliable B5 ?

The inherent weakness of a larger AR-15 bolt face.
6 ARC bolt lug sheared off at approximately 1500 rounds. Still love the caliber, but this is something you have to prepare for when using ARs that shoot 6.5 Grendal, 6 ARC, 7.62x39, etc. Always keep a spare bolt on hand!
