I recently completed building my first AR. It will not eject. I can pull the charging handle and the spent casing ejects and the new round seats fine. After firing a round the spent casing does not eject.
I swapped the upper with another AR, and the same issue occurred. The lower functions fine, but the upper continues to not eject the casing. I am sure I did something wrong when assembling the upper. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Or needs to be stronger (add the o-ring) Also does your brass that failed to eject have extractor marks on it? I guess another thing that I am "assuming" is ok, but does your bolt carrier move at all? maybe your gas tube is upside down…. I need more info….. |

Gas block is adjustable. The rifle was built piece by piece, nothing preassembled. I'll check the extractor spring and gas block assembly again.
Rifle shoots great. I just have to manually load a road each time by cycling the charging handle to extract the spent casing and feed a live round. |

I just have to manually load a road each time by cycling the charging handle to extract the spent casing and feed a live round. So I guess the obvious questions are did you adjust the gas block? And is the bolt moving at all? |
