Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.
I have had this upper for a few months. No issues. Shot around 150 rounds. Very accurate.
Decided to paint.. pulled hand guard off to paint barrel. Found barrel nut finger tight.
So I tightened it up w torque wrench and crows foot. All good. Finished paint job.
Cleaned up and oiled everything. I don’t paint bcg.
Took it hunting- 1st set took bullet fine. Called a blank set. Walked back to truck. Bcg locked forward. Had to mortar charge handle to get bullet out.
Ran rest of night- 6 sets, no issues.
Any ideas on what happened?
My only guess is when I tightened barrel nut it twisted barrel till pin stopped it and the bcg wedged on the lugs.
