Man, Im wanting to get one now Im scare too lol. It like the gas is turned off making it a bolt action. I have a yugo sks and you could turn the gas valve on and off. On on its semiauto on off its a bolt action. Anyway just looks like you got a lemon. Goodluck and take care. Also how do you like your Smith AR? Any recomends on what I should get?

For anyone watching this video, if you experience the same problem:

1. Examine the magazines for any obvious issues.

2. Tap the back of the magazine firmly to seat the rounds in the mag.

3. Reinsert the mag and tap twice firmly in an upward motion on the bottom of the mag.

4. Try the forward assist or charging handle.

5. If that doesn't work, try other mags in the weapon.

6. Then try the same magazines in a different weapon (the guy in the vid had two ARs) to isolate bad mags.

@Pseyco666 Not unless u wanna beat dem over the head with it.

[mike454oh]

all i can say is buy a magpul p mag you wont have this problem

[outragedt]

Ok use better cleaning supplies as well its jamming bc one the magazine and two the cycling process isn't working bc its not well oiled

[outragedt]

U need to mags

[MrIridewheelies]

Spikes tactical is my personal fav, put over 7000 rounds through it and never a prob plus I'm running magpul mags

bushmaster has gone to shit ever since they been landing military contracts if u want a good ar go smith&wes colt has gone to shit as well its like the only company u can depend on are the companies not currently under military contract.

Its a bad magazine jack ass. Also use Hoppes No.9 Lubricating Oil, not chicken grease.

@gootime09 fan boy are you. maybe its a bad batch, try to understand the problem it my be less fun than insults but still don't be a ar fan boy.

[bcalvinson]

[digitalblasphemy1100]
