    Round #2. So I put in the o-ring to help with the extractor (#60, pack of 10, at homedepot $2.50). Holy crap. It's like a whole new gun. With XM193, not one FTF,FTE, every one chambered. I went through about 200 rds yesterday. With the XM193 ammo, I couldn't notice it but my buddies could, 8-10 inches in front of the barrel a large flash from the ammo. Pretty cool I must say. At 100 yds, with a red dot, we were picking off 4x4 tiles. Not bad with a cheap red dot (poor glass), it was way better at 50 yds. The only thing I noticed was it would not chamber my reloads. It would completely jamb up the last 1/4 inch or so, I would have to hold it by the charging handle and wack it with a rubber mallet on the buffer tube (try THAT with a rifle) to pull the round out. Happened with the first two reloads so I quit trying those. They work fine in the AR they were shot out of before so I might just have to adjust the die (yes, it is a full size die) or just keep these separate as reloads. I also did try some BVAC ammo. Towards the end of the day, maybe 1 out of 15 would jamb up like that (BVAC are reloaded Lake City). It might just like XM193. Oh, well, I just bought a case from AIM last week so I'm GTG for those. For those that care I also got my 7.62 upper dialed in. At 100 yds we were picking off cartridge cases on top of the target board. It was a good day.

    EDIT: It was my dies. I changed from reloading 38's to .223 and I must have moved the resizing die. I tried some of my older reloads and they load fine. It was only the last 200 or so, damnit

    I have one of the JSE Custom 16" uppers. I got a few of the free upgrades that they offered last year.

    I have been very pleased with this upper. I threw about 800 rounds down the pipe with zero issues.

    Last year they were selling these for $285 shipped when I got mine.

    Overall pretty descent upper for the money in my opinion.

    got too run about a 100 roundso through mine yesterday. I was using hot shot ss 109 had some issues it would fire a round but had problems extracting it. It was actually ripping the lip off the brass. Had to use a cleaning rod to remove the shell. And it was in there tight. Did that pry 6 times. It was like the brass was expanding. Tried some of my buddies reloads with no problems
