Thing works great except when firing some .223 the bolt carrier doesnt lock back on last ejection.
A bit heavier than regular carbine It should take up some of the recoil.

I figured its a little heavier. It sure likes to pop out faster than my buddys regular buffer so I guess its a heavier spring too.

I thought my reloads were loaded too light last year cause the carrier wouldnt lock back lol. Now I know why and my reloads were perfect .223 spec.

I will save my brass for you, I dont reload
How did the failure happen? Buffer weight crack?

And thats mighty generous of you. About a year ago when I was unemployed, I sorted thru my storage tote full of brass that I had shot and collected at the range. Sold about 6k pieces of .223 and 5.56 mixed brass when there was rhe ammo shortage for 600 bucks. Kept the good lake city brass for my personal reloads.

Surprised I found a nice batch of 1000 55gn boat tail with cannelure projectiles for 100 bucks shipped during the shortage on calguns!!!
Bought one for my friend too lol.

Need to build a 308 but might just build a scar since it's not that much more. Btw anyone want a surefire x300U bnib, $200 picked up. Got an extra one and don't need it. Perfect for ar or pistol.

Have you used the other one and how do you like it?

Yeah I mounted it to my m&p, I shut down all the lights in my house to test it in a real life situation, it's nice, aiming it at one wall lights up the whole room. I like the momentary feature and on feature. Ambidextrous, 500 lumens and it's a surefire so bomb proof and lifetime warranty
