AR Stoner Mil-spec buffer tube and whatever...

Buffer it comes with. I just looked and there was no mark. Yellowish gold color. That's why I asked about whether it might be something related to my lower. I built that lower and before all this FTE stuff this week I think I've only test fired the gun with that new lower with some factory Barnes Vortex loads. It's hard to remember because it's getting rare to find time to shoot these days (you'd think once your kids are all grown and out of the house you'd have more time not less!). It's a Spikes lower, Geissele SSA-E, buffer tube mentioned above, Magpul butt stock, Daniel Defense grip and CMMG LPK. If it's not related to the buffer it almost has to be the brass (because both failures were from a brass change) or it needs a stronger extractor spring but I can't budge mine. I've ordered the BCM upgrade and I'm gonna install it but I'd actually like to diagnose this and know what fixed it rather than throwing a bunch of changes all at one time...it's the technician/gear head in me.
