Hey guys! Over the last few years, I’ve owned several Noveske uppers and I’ve never had any problems with them until now.
In this case, it is a 10.5" light shorty with a Switchblock and it has feeding problems when I’m rapid firing with a suppressor attached. The main issue is a double feed - which I would assume is a magazine issue, but I have a couple of 20 round PMags that both seem to have the same problem. Also, when I put those magazines into another rifle, they work fine.
Occasionally, I also see an issue where a round fires and the next round doesn’t quite make it into the chamber. In that scenario, the failed round gets crushed and is unusable.
This lower has an H2 buffer and I’m thinking about trying an H buffer to see if it makes any difference. I’ve also been focusing on keeping the bolt plenty wet when I’m using it.
Anyway, any suggestions on troubleshooting would be appreciated. I’d like to figure out what’s up with this little rifle - it’s a blast to shoot, but I need it to work more reliably since I use it for suppressor demos.
