[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2861459, member: 94491"] I have a l.a.w. folding adapter and the sylvan appears to be a copy of it so I'll throw out a possibility The bolt carrier extension adds weight to your bcg--- if your gas pressure to the bolt was on the lower side then it might now be short stroking as with the extra weight it's under gassed. 2 ways to fix this-- #1-open your adjustable gas block ( if you have one) or enlarge the gas port #2- change out your buffer to a lighter one or remove some of the internal weights Contact Sylvan to find out how much their bolt extension weighs (or just weigh it yourself)--- then find a buffer that is lighter by that amount of weight --kak sells a kit that is adjustable from 1.7oz up to 5.6, and tacom sells an ultralight .8oz buffer set too.
