I acquired a 9mm Olympic upper with a 16" barrel and fitted it on a standard carbine lower.
I've found that it runs fine with 124 grain ammo but fails to cycle fully with 115 grain.
With 115 grain it will fire and eject the first round ok but the bolt doesn't come back far enough to pick up the next one from the magazine.
All empty cases look good with no signs of pressure.
I'm thinking that I should fit a lighter buffer, but I weighed the one in it and found it to be 3oz and that seems to be the lightest of the standard buffers.
So what do you folks suggest?
