Anyone have any experience with this yet? My personal experience has been with my buddy's gun and it is NOT good. It fails to load from high capacity glock mags (26rd double stackers) with American eagle brass 230gr FMJ. It also fails to extract with this same round. When we take the upper off, and load a round, it seems very stuck in the chamber and some times takes serious effort to remove. We noticed that the gun came very dry, and after shooting, and failing, we tried oiling the thing up (barrel, chamber, charging handle and BCG) and still had problems. We tried manual cycling by pulling the charging handle and still noticed it failed to load and eject. We next tried a different brand hollow point and this seems to help especially with the extraction as the round seemed to fit a little looser in the chamber. It feeds more reliably with HP but there was still the occasional hiccup, at least 2-3 with every 20rds.
There is No feed ramp on this upper (there is none on the PSA AR9 either), and this maybe contributing to the feeding issues with both FMJ and to a lesser extent with the hollow points.
Next step? polishing the thin to non existent feed lip on chamber?
Get PSA on the line and see what they have to say.
Try a different glock mag? different ammo?
Return?
Why would you fire a dry firearm? All psa brand firearms ship super dry. You are suppose to inspect a firearm, lube it & cycle a few rounds without firing them before you try to finally fire them & hope they don't blow up. It could be your mag if it's one of those cheap Korean ones.
Yeah, should have lubed it first but if you play with it enough before hand and get it warmed up, it ends up pretty moist. Seriously though, even after lubing everything, the AE 45 ACP is pretty damn stuck in the chamber. And changing the mag won't do anything about that.
I have a psa 9mm that takes glock mags. Mine is a 16" carbine but it works 100%. I wouldn't hesitate to buy psa stuff.
Update - my buddy bought official glock mag and winchester 45 ACP and the winchester works with both the high cap korean mags, and with the official mag. The AE 45ACP brass stuff still had difficulties with the official glock mag. So there was the problem, this AR45 likes winchester and NOT American Eagle 45.
