I have been scratching my head on this one. Went from a fixed A2 stock on my ar15 to a magpul adjustable. Everything was fine for sometime but then the occasional light primer strike starting happening. Did some research and realized I did not stake the castle nut, hence it was out of spec. Tightened everything back up and staked the castle nut in place. Everything is good for a couple hundred rounds then light primer strikes start happening again.
To be clear, this is not ammo specific. All ammo is showing this behavior. Also, it is not every shot. Maybe 2 or maybe 10 out of a 30 round mag fail to fire due to light primer strikes. Put that round back in the gun and it goes bang. Very random and confusing to me.
Funny thing is the castle nut is still staked and in the same position after staking the 1st time. What could be going on? I am considering going back to the A2 stock since it gave me zero problems but really do prefer the aesthetics and functionality of the adjustable stock. Any ideas what to look for? I am lost at this point.
Thanks
