[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3019950, member: 93138"] Several have suggested checking that you don't have a short chamber or throat. I would verify that first. If you don't a short something, then you're good to go with more break-in. IME AR's need some break-in. I wouldn't worry about how it functions or doesn't function until you've got at least 100 rounds down the pipe. By then it should have settled in and be behaving right Run it wet with lube. Can back off on the lube later once it's running, but for now make sure that it has ample lube to function. Wear your full PPE because that much lube will be airborne and some of it can be hot. I'd suggest reading the manual (Gasp!!!) and setting the AGB where the mfg originally had it set. If it won't cycle and eject at all then turn up the gas until it will. And I'll say it just to be sure and not to be the Safety Buffalo, but be golly gosh darned careful with it while you're fiddling around trying to get it to run. All too easy to be focused on what it's doing, what you're doing to try to get it working, and not where it's pointing etc. [/QUOTE]
