Good video from a good man. Awesome. Stay safe, buddy.

Good stuff, I figured that h2 and 3 would help it out. Bummer the steel doesn't run as reliable, but like you said, probably do to underpowered rounds not having the pressure to push that bolt as hard as needed. I'd say the h1 or carbine buffer and spring would probably be your best bet to have a chance to run steel and swap for the h2 or 3 for brass munitions. Good stuff bud!

I was curious on what buffer and spring combo too, since the WOT package calls for a H2 buffer. I called Geissele and they recommended their H3 and spring package ($99) when running a FRT trigger in a 7.5" AR pistol. They said their spring was 15% more stiff than a standard spring. FYI. Thanks for the video and helpful information.

Just a thought worth considering: When I had a problem with steel case ammo, it turned out to be that the rings on my bolt carrier group were worn. I changed out the rings and didn't have any more problems with steel case ammo. Cheers!

Can’t say I own one….but I know a guy who used a spring tech red buffer spring, with a 5.5oz buffer weight and a nickel boron BCG. It emptied a 30 round mag in about 3 seconds. Came out to about 600 rounds per minute. A lighter BCG may help the guy I know increase his rate of fire. Also he used green tip brass.

My psa 10.5 with a h2 and wot runs steel fine. 60rd mag dumps without any issues. Brass will cycle faster though. I loaded 20 steel then 20 brass in my mag and you can clearly see the speed change when it switches to brass

Thinking about getting one. I've got an Odin Works adjustable buffer so hopefully I can get it tuned in. Also welcome to North Carolina.

It sounded like a lot of fun form here.

H3 is my set up . My wot is wicked with the H3. I learned also you can run a H1 buffer with a grisselle spring the spring compensates for wright

Hi Nerd, it's your favourite Elf here. Subbed you.

the steel does not slide as easy so it takes some of the return force off the trigger reset. A Wolf XP spring will help

Do you have an adjustable gas block on there? I've seen a few comments recommending opening the gas port to max to run steel case. Or if you can't run at all after changing buffer weights to try an adjustable gas block. I would rather try that than drill out a barrel.

Iv been shooting tula 223, wot,and a alamo15 with a h2. No issues

Try the Super 42 combo by Geissele 👌🤫

What to do if round chambers but hammer follows or its a light primer strike, not sure what exactly going on

I have never had good luck with steel or aluminum case ammo in any of my AR's. Not that they wouldn't fire, but they wouldn't cycle. Brass is best!

Weigh your buffers and write the weight on the side of the buffer with a permanent marker. There is nothing “wrong” with your original buffer. Just buy a pack of titanium buffer weights so you can tune you buffers.

Not saying I have a WOT but steel is nothing but an issue with the WOT. Brass green tip is best. A 5.5oz buffer may be tested tomorrow buy someone lol

I can't get anything but hammer follows. 8 inch suppressed pistol with h2. Adjustable gas block. Any help?

H3 didn't work stock weight runs it get about 6 rounds then I have to charge it each time. Walking pins are tight, mil spec everything, so idk what's going on with it. Kinda pissed off with it.

👍

I hate to be "that guy", but you never put your glasses on through the whole vid. Great vid, very educational, but please be safe! We need all the good guys we can get with two functioning eyeballs. :D

My buddies got crunchy after a few hundred rounds... a drop of oil on each friction point solved that

It’s strange to me because he’s running wolf gold and calling it steel cased… regular wolf is steel cased but wolf gold is brass…

Strange that he keeps calling it steel cased Ammo… regular wolf is steel cased, but wolf gold is brass..
