Had to canibalize the buffer spring out of my back-up gun after the standards stage (not videoed) to get it to run. Even then it still has some issues. BUT!!!! I was hitting steel at $300 with it.

Anyone following the saga, I'm pretty sure I found the cycling issue. I had a spent spring and a bad buffer in the gun. The rubber washers between the weights had stuck the weights together and were all moving as one piece. I refurbished an older carbine buffer closer to mil-spec and replace the spring with a new one that was swapped for a flat wire. I'll post after I test it again, but I'm pretty sure that was the cycling issue.

I blue lock-tited and re-torqued the scope mounts back on the gun to resolve that issue.

It even got a little paint today. You'll all have to wait for future video to see that.

Tested the refurbished buffer and new (old) buffer spring. Also re-zeroed the scope after torquing and loc-titing the mounts.

Then I ran it out to 500 yds on a 1/2 IPSC steel plate with M193. 3 rounds and on target.

Might run it again next month to see if we can get the barrel to go again.
