From the best I can tell the start of the buffer tube, it is very sporadic.
Is the carrier going too far back in the tube. That's what snapped off my key. Might need to try a heavier spring.

Say what you will there's some barrel rise on the AR9 pistol with no suppressor on those shorter barrels. If you don't have a stock your accuracy will go down. I put 8" barrel on mine for the weight and more handle. Also would recommend the Thorsden cheek rest on a pistol buffer tube to help steady it and a good sling.

+1 for the thorsden or the blade.

Yea his bolt uses a pinned on weight/extension and it wobbles. I think thats what catches on the buffer tube

Is there room to put a c washer inbetween the 2 to change the angle and tighten the wobble

That's a possibility. I can probably find something to shim it with. I will take some pics tonight and see what yall think

If I remember correctly yes.
I don't know why everyone stays all over PSA's nuts. They make(or put their name on) garbage. I'd say 75% of all PSA branded parts I've ever gotten had some sort of functionality problem. I will never use their parts again. There's plenty of other places that will ship me shit parts in under a month.

I think PSA grew faster than they planned and their quality dropped as a means to keep up with demand. We didn't used to hear about nearly as many issues with them

back before sandy hook, before they acquired ptac (craptical tactical) - they were a legit vendor. lowers seemed to be made by aero precision while most uppers/barrels were fn ("premium"). they were a good option.

then they got into the "blem" game which led to a race to the bottom.

then came the ptac and freedom crap.

I honestly have no major issue with psa. Yeah the parts are not always the best, but every manufacture has flaws. All though you may not see them. I got the bcg for a good deal and other than the slight binding I have had no major issues.
