Ok, Im fed up with trying to fix this on my own so I'm seeking help from the hide.
Awhile back I had an ar-10 put together for me by Chuck Ross at Ross Precision, I had most of the parts already, I just sent everything to him and he built it. I purchased the armalite upper receiver with bcg on gun broker and bought an armalite stripped lower from a local store, Chuck got the lower parts kit, barrel and barrel extension.
Anyways, the problem Im having with it is that it won't load a round from the magazine, when I pull the charging handle back and let go, its like the bolt slides barely on top of the round instead of catching it on the base and pushing it in. This causes it to jam in the feed ramp/barrel extension area. It does this with every mag that I have tried.
So, I swapped out the lower with an armalite lower that a friend has and everything works perfectly fine.
Ive talked with chuck about this, and we can't seem to figure out what the problem is, so I came to the conclusion that something was wrong with the lower receiver, So I found an Iron Ridge lower for armalite for sale at Ranier arms, I bought it and a new armalite parts kit, put it together, and it will hardly even pin to my upper receiver. When I try this new iron ridge lower on my friends armalite upper, it pins together, but it won't feed either.
Im not too experienced with gas guns to begin with, but this has really got me scratching my head. If anyone has any suggestions, Im all ears. Thanks a lot.
