I was at the range Sunday afternoon and shot 5 rounds through my AR and then it jammed (really bad) the spent casing had flipped up on top of the bolt carrier and was jammed in their really bad. Anyway I got it fix and proceeded to shoot some more, it kept jamming. Now it will not eject the spend cassing and it tries to load another round. I try to shoot single shot to see what happens and it still will not eject the spent casing. I have to pull back the charging handle one more time for it to grab the casing that is still in the barrel. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this?

Were you using steel cased ammo ?

Brandon972,
Nope Remington 50gr JHP

Was the case staying locked in the bolt itself ?

it was staying in the barrel and i would put back the handle and let it go. it would grab the case and i would pull the handle again to eject the case.

Hmm that happens to me with steel cased ammo and is pretty common. Take the bolt apart and see if there is any debri keeping the extractor from doing its job. You could try installing a heavy extractor sping or vinton o ring, I dont think Bushys come stock with those. The extractor spring could be too weak to make the extractor stay latched to the case. It kind of sounds like the case is expanding in the chamber teh way steel cases do though.

Where can i get a heavy extractor spring or vinton o ring. Can you install them?

Yes I have them and can throw one in there for you. If you put preasure on the extractor pushing it away fron the bolt is there much resistance ?

I shoot the crap out of mine have not have any problems. I did have a FTE after a full day of shooting the cheapest steel case ammo I could find.

Brandon,
I have not tried that, what would you charge?

Just the price of parts, like $5 or something like that.

Would you be available on Saturday, I can meet you somewhere. You installed the new trigger spring and grip on this one for me.

There is the answer.........What was the question again

Sounds like it could be under gassed to me. Extractor upgrade is mandatory though.

I bet its not pushing the carrier far enough back so its re chambering the spent round and picking up a new one. Try the extractor and if it still does it, have a gunsmith check your gas port. We have had open up a bunch of them. Also polishing your chamber may help as well. Hope you get it going.

Also make sure it does not have a rifle length buffer spring or buffer if it is a mutil position stock.

i had a similar problem with my colt ar and it ended up being the buffer spring but im no expert

Yours was actually lack of the buffer spring all together though !! That was the first time Ive ever heard of that ! Dont think that will be the problem with JBs.

JB I responded to your PM with my contact info and addy. Just let me know when you would like to bring it by !

OMFG!!!! His rifle didn't have a buffer spring??? WOW, yea thats the first I have heard of that as well.

Ya it had a hydrolic buffer but no spring and that one was supposed to have a spring along with it
