Took our oldest to the range with his new rifle his uncle built him. We were shooting 5.56 through it and it would shoot but not extract. Pics below of the brass aftermath. Tried 223 and it would shoot, eject, shoot another but only halfway eject while it tried to cycle another round in. The RO and someone else tried diagnosing it to no avail. We swapped the bcg for mine and it had the same issue, although I don’t think mine was shearing the brass like his. What could be causing the issue?
My thoughts?
1. Not chambered for 5.56
2. Gas tube issue/pressure issue
3. It didn’t seem to like the mags I brought for it but he left his at home his uncle gave him.
It’s an Anderson lower and I don’t know about the upper.
