[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 3019742, member: 105694"] I haven't tried this before, but I'm thinking about it? Turning gb fully off and see if the case swells to much to be ejected via chargehandle? Also have you checked if the bullet has land marks when chambered? If so, the throat is short and causing higher pressure that can lockup the bcg, but non necessarily pop primers as it jams the case against the bolt keeping the primer installed. When factory ammo (mostly tuned for BA's) isn't AR friendly.................that's what I've found out in 6.5creed factory ammo (Hornady match 123 a-max/sst). The ammo cycled perfectly in 2 aero precision barrels (18" mid-length & 22" standard rifle length gas) used without an agb. After those 2 I put together 5 more non-ap barrels (faxon, 2 pr, bsf & cbi)(bsf and pr's +2 gas & cbi & faxon standard rifle length). All 5 with agb's and all required different fixes. The answer is ap barrels have a gas port size that works with non-agb, standard weight buffers and springs. Port size is VERY important. [/QUOTE]
