My firearm is not cycling properly. (AR15, M5, EPC)
The first thing to do if experiencing trouble during cycling is to ensure your firearm is clean, well lubricated, and using quality full power ammunition. Improper lubrication and underpowered ammunition can often result in cycling issues.
If you are using an AR15/AR10 pattern firearm and still experiencing cycling issues, consider the following:
-
If you assembled your own upper receiver group, ensure that the gas block is properly aligned with the gas port on your barrel.
-
Ensure that you are using the correct buffer weight for your firearm. Your buffer will affect bolt carrier cycle speed. A bolt carrier that moves either too fast or too slow may cause cycling issues.
If you are still experiencing cycling issues with your firearm, contact Aero Precision Customer Service.
