I am fairly certain I know what the answer will be to this issue I'm having, I would just like a little knowledge along with it. I am only about 7 years into my fire arms learning, so be understanding if my understanding is on the thin side.
I just purchased my 3rd firearm, BPM patrolman's AR-15. I think it's a very well made rifle and really don't think my issues are a reflection on the gun itself.
Right after buying it I went to the Tanner Gun Show and bought 500 rounds of remanufactured 2.23. I went to the gun range and at least 3/4 of the 50 rounds I TRIED to fire from it jammed. (No firing pin mark on round, had to hold onto charge handle and bang buttstock against table to get it released.) I gave up, took the rifle home and cleaned/lubed the hell out of the AR and went back the next day. Same issue but I gave up on 4th try. I purchased a 100 rounds of American Eagle 5.56 at the range and shot about 60 rounds without any issues.
i think I learned my lesson on remanufactured ammo from gun shows (though that may be an unfair conclusion) I really thought an AR would be pretty forgiving but it seems very finicky. I have a Springfield XDM 40 cal and a JR Carbine 9mm and they shoot the gun show ammo with not one issue. Based on my experience with the 2.23, what are your guy's thoughts on the issue?
Much appreciated!
