O.K. I'm a bit confused.
A friend brought me a new AR15 build he just finished to trouble-shoot. It's a 16" .223 Wylde build.
It will fire the first round, and chamber the second, but the trigger will not reset.
The trigger DOES reset if you pull the hammer back by hand, or if you pull the charging handle back and release, but not after a shot.
This same guy had me look at another AR he recently built that had the same issue. On that one the gas block was askew just enough to under-gas the system.
I've torn the new(er) one down twice now, and I'd swear I have the gas block lined up.
Is it possible to send the bolt back far enough to pick up the next round, without moving rearward far enough to reset the trigger?
If this is not the problem, I was thinking too heavy a buffer/spring set-up?
Any ideas?
