Make sure your gas rings are not lined up on your bolt. I've known people to align them, and thus causing the gas to bleed off and not fully work the bolt and carrier correctly...

Chill guys. I'm going to Del-Ton probably tomorrow with the rifle, the mags, and ammo to test her out there and hopefully catch the problem. Will be cool to see their shop at least.
Looking forward to hearing about that trip!

All I am saying is if you are so weak you can't make a mag lock in place without slapping it you should probably stick to revolvers.
I generally don't smack my mags in so it's not a question of weakness. But nice trolling.
Just got back from Del-Ton. The grand result = they ran 50 rounds of my ammo through it and said they were unable to reproduce the jamming. They replaced the ejector spring which in their opinion was weak. So, I saw that Del-Ton has a shop in an industrial park, and have a nice but small waiting area. Plenty of building was going on behind the security door, but that was that. At least I can give an FYI that they have milspec receivers on sale for $75 on account of having minor finishing blemishes.
Sounds like del-ton. Now to see how it does for you at the range after this visit.
I wonder if there might have been an obstruction in the gas tube that finally blew out?

Maybe. I hope to take it out again this weekend. Shame I couldn't see the shop, but don't blame them for security.
I don't blame them one bit, but neither was I bothered by it. I would conduct business the exact same way. From the sounds of things, and the number of cars in the lot, they were busy and working away on either kits, uppers, lowers, or complete rifles. Highly efficient I have to say. I arrived at 9:05, and left at 9:30. That's service.
I test fired the rifle today after Del-Ton worked on it. Four magazines and 80 rounds later she worked flawlessly. Looks like it was the ejector spring after all. Glad she is functional at last...now to have fun with her
Awesome!
Glad to hear you got it working and that the folks at DTI had good customer service.
No hate, just that bad mags and poorly finished ammo can lead to failure to chamber. If you have to slap a mag into place you may want to work on getting a little strength built up, or like I said, use a revolver.
