Okay background.....we have a new semi-auto AR kind of rifle in the house. Fired brass is showing indents where shoulder meets the base and they happen to match up exactly with the rifling. Also, case/shoulder is showing bright line as if turning in the chamber. We fired a total of 4 rounds. before the line was cold and we could venture forward and pick up brass.
I took one look at the very first fired brass and stopped all activity. I considered that perhaps the SB die had set the shoulder back too far but measurements at home say that is not the issue.
Eyeballing the BCG I can see where a cut has been machined directly opposite the extractor that is deeper than the face of the BCG and the depth of that cut is an exact match to the length of the indent on the brass.
I could use some help with this.
