Should I be concerned that over the course of sixty rounds my ejection patterns changed?
For the first few rounds my AR15 was ejecting rounds 8-10 feet. Then for the next bunch it was throwing them 4-6 feet. Finally, at the end it started throwing them only one or two feet. Also a lot of the rounds were going forwards a few feet (like 5 feet to the right, 2 or 3 feet forward) Also the gun was producing way more smoke (practically oozing it from its crevices) and heating up more than usual, but from what I read that's most likely because I had just oiled (almost certainly over oiled) it the day before I am very poor and can't afford a new gun so I'm super anxious. Is there a problem and if so how much to fix it? |

Smoke from oil burning off is normal
Were all shots using the same ammo? |

What lube are you using to lube the upper bearing areas of the upper, and what cleaning agents used to clean the upper and barrel as well?
Wrong cleaning agents will cause chamber to foul out quicker, and wrong lubing agents will do the same, instead of keeping the upper bearing areas dissolved of fouling to prevent the fouling to bond in the first place. |

Your gun is fine and you’re way overthinking this.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WUPHF: Your gun is fine and you’re way overthinking this. Kind of going with same, but check your fire rate, since could be over heating the barrel, and a quick way to wear it out (plasma erosion of the throat, and it not like a 22lr that you can buzz through rounds without fear of over heating the barrel instead). |
