[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 243 - Cycling Issues

Posted: 2/1/2024 3:05:42 PM EDT

Buddy has a 243 that I am helping him with. It will sometimes cycle a few fine and run fine, but then run into issues.

It will feed the next round in just fine, but it seems like the BCG is not going forward far enough or the trigger is not being reset. When you pull the trigger the next time, there is nothing like it has not been reset, but the next round is in battery with a light primer strike just from the bolt riding forward. Occasional double taps as well. TriggerTech drop in trigger. Suppressed. Rifle length gas system. JP Silent Capture Buffer.

I tried my BCG in it and it does the same thing. Going to be sure he has is adjustable gas block set correctly next.

What's next to try if it was in your hands? TIA

Trigger needs to be sent back to be correceted, since it the problem.

Hence easy check on the trigger, Hold the trigger back on empty rifle, use charging handle to cock trigger back, the slowly release the trigger and the hammer should not be released from the seat until the trigger is just a hair shot of being all the way forward at rest again.

If hammer releases from the disco before this point , its going to be nothing but problems.
