My buddy has an identical set up and his never fails to feed. On occasion mine will cock the right side of mag round up too far to the 10 or 11 oclock position and jam the bolt lug that is trying to feed it into the case just behind the shoulder. The lugs on the bolt seem to be exactly like two other new bolts I have here. I thought maybe there could be some wear on it but that doesn't seem to be the case. It does it with several different mags of different capacity and different bullets. At first trying to diagnose it I thought maybe my buffer setup was too heavy since it seemed to be more prevalent when I switched from 55 down to 50 grain bullets. I'm now running a carbine setup and it will lock back no problems. Any ideas?
