Here you go, problem solved. $5

I actually mostly shoot 10.5 barrels and I use this in everything just because I have had great luck with it. Never made a problem worse and so cheap.

Thank you. I will order one and give it a try. If that works it certainly beats sending it back to WC.

Good luck! It really sounds like a weak spring to me. I almost can't see how it is not that.

I took the WC BCG apart and found this



The left is WC BCG spring and the right is the PSA BCG spring. Is it me or is the WC BCG spring a tab bit short?

^^Looks short.

Swap it and fire test.

Sent using 2 cans and a long string.

So was it a double feed or failure to extract? Big difference. Is the bolt really new or just new to you?

I already explained what to check for, whatever.

Anyway, one spring may be shorter, but you have them turned in different directions. Anyway, the length probably doesn't have much to do with it in this case unless the spring is weak as well as short.

In any case, swap springs and just cycle some rounds. Or just swap the PSA extractor with the coated extractor. This not rocket science.

Buy yourself an extra extractor and spring. Geez.

Totally appreciate your help! Didn't mean to offend.

I was not offended, I just like to get feedback if you tried and solved the problem or not. Otherwise its a waste of time to try to answer question people have. That's all. Hope you got it fixed.
