Ammo? U.S. GI or some other?
If steel cased, that could add to your problems.
Pls keep us informed.
What does the extracter look like? Gas tube position? Lock up OK without a mag? Bolt pin? Something is making it hang and the longer spring just acts like an FA. My DPMS take about 1/8" to click when the action is open, but that is the charging handle.just touch the BCG and it moves about 1/8" and works
I have scavenged a BCG from a DPMS that has worked perfect for years and will try that.
I will report back.

Took the rifle apart today and noticed a few interesting things. The threads where the buffer tube screw into the lower receiver had been damaged (completely removed) on two spots on the bottom. These lined up perfectly with two wear marks on the bottom of the bolt carrier. Guess the spring is not keeping the bolt carrier for moving rearward too far. Also, the edges of the buffer on the side where the bolt carrier touches it appears to have been "chipped" away. I'm assuming it should be completely smooth and flat.
I asked the builder if it had the proper buffer spring and was reassured that it did. I'm thinking the answer is it does not. What does everyone think?
