Friend has one. Up until recently it shot well without any issues.

He bought 1000 rounds of Federal and it started to have problems ejecting the brass from the gun.

Right after that he tried Winchester white box and it’s happening there as well,

He originally thought is was the ammunition but it’s progressed through two brands,

Springfield issued a call tag for it and it’s on the way to them will have to see what they come up with.

Ejector spring, most likely. Maybe the extractor spring.

What is the total round count?

Nothing wrong with having a factory rifle serviced by the factory, but I prefer to do such maintenance myself as it takes such little time and I don't have to deal with the hassle of shipping a rifle.

They probably mostly work fine like most of the other AR offerings out there.


There aren't very many factory offerings in the AR platform that interest me. After you build a few, there is always something that you would rather not have on most of the factory offerings.

Usually the trigger, at the very least. Often the stock, handguard, and muzzle device as well.

So I can pay the money for a factory rifle and wind up with a bunch of parts in a box that I don't want and that have little value, or I can build what I want the first time.

If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either
