I know the ARs are not the normal talking point around here. But I have one I am a little lost on what to do with.
Got a 350 Legend Upper from a buddy of mine. Was planning to use it here at home for a short range Whitetail rifle in some of the thick timber we have.
Put a lower together for it and had to order a Mag. Got a Mag from Wilson Combat and started playing around with it.
I havent got to the range with it yet and was just checking function cycling the bolt with the charging handle
This thing wont feed for $hit. I bought 2 different kinds of ammo so far for it.
A FMJ from Winchester. It runs it pretty well. 1 out of 50 charges jammed.
Have some 170gr Hornaday soft points. These wont make it 5 rounds with out one jamming and not feeding.
I did some looking online and You Tube and the feeding issues are common on these things. There is everything out there from guys modifying mags to polishing feed ramps. changing buffers BCGs all kinds of stuff.
So I am at a loss with this thing.
I am about to the point to give up on the 350L and just rebarrel the damn thing. Which is where my thoughts get in the way.
Have been wanting to build a 6mm Arc. But then that is a fairly small round for short ranges. Not that I think it wouldn't work.
I have another AR i built for my daughter in 300 Blk. So thought of going to the 300 Blk on this rifle also since I have everything to load for it.
So here I am with this thing and no clue what way to go here.
Was hoping to get some ideas and opinions from you all
