I built a nice 14.5" 556 rifle to do some classes with a buddy. I used an ADM UIC ambi lower, Vltor A5 buffer system, Vltor MUR upper, Criterion Hybrid 14.5" barrel, Geissele fixed gas block, Geissele SD-3G trigger, and Geissele MK4 13.5" handgaurd. Everything was fully functional. Shooting suppressed the bolt carrier was really slamming around. So I went with a Bootleg adjustable carrier. The rifle now will not cycle without a suppressor AT ALL. On the unsuppressed (full gas) setting it will eject the case, but will not strip a new round. Even with a suppressor, the BCG has to be on the unsuppressed setting to eject the case and load a new round. I thought perhaps the buffer was too heavy (although it functioned 100% with standard bolt carrier group). I switched from the H3 to an H1 buffer. No change. Im using a standard rifle spring with the Vltor kit. Im also using mil-spec M855 ammo. Has anyone experience this? Ive emailed Bootleg and I'm hoping to get a replacement carrier or have this one repaired. Im pretty disappointed at this point.
