If it only won't shoot one kind of Ammo I'd still call it good to go eh
Depends, some ammo is under powered for some guns but it should not be sticking in the chamber.

Looks like they went out of business in 2019. Some of the comments were positive, other than the guy posting...
Weird, a Mil Spec Chamber should feed everything; clean, dirty, rusty, shellacked, frozen, or otherwise not clean and fresh! I usually try not to feed them crap ammo, but I do want to know that they will run on it if I was forced to use it for what ever reason! Maybe this was a learning experience for you while things are still pre-SHTF! Might be hard to find a decent Mil Spec Barrel right now, but i'm sure if you look hard enough, you should be golden!
I hate to say it, even though it is likely the ammo at issue here, it does point to an issue with your rifle for the purpose you intend it for, and that means it's gonna need some work!

Id be fun to see if my Aguila ammo sticks in another AR (but I only have 1..) or perhaps it was just a bad lot of Aquila.
hard to know.
not totally screwed. It fires the Aquila, its just very hard to extract an unfired round.+1 on velzey, man honestly if shtf and you find a stash of Aquila ammo you're screwed
I'm just funnin ya! We've all had our AR issues! Shoot just not to long ago I put some parts in backwards in my lowers I was building!not totally screwed. It fires the Aquila, its just very hard to extract an unfired round.
Visually the same as another brand. Calibers measure the same, I dont own a micrometer though. No unusual marks on the brass or bullet. Not certain what to look for other than that its just hard to imagine that 3 different brands of ammo run smooth but 1 brand does not.
What kind of scares me about that is they put chrome moly 556 Barrel highend and give no explanation as to why it's high end. Most AR companies will go through a process on their page explaining why there Barrel is superior such as top quality CNC machines ect ....just my two cents but I'm broke I don't think what you have is bad and I'm not bashing you but that was just a red flag for me.
Eldbillbo what's you're opinion on the steel used for the barrel 4150CMV Mil-B Spec Steel never really herd of it honest question?Guys if its only having problems with one kind of ammo, Before you start reaming or replacing the barrel just stop using the ammo that it does not like. It's really just that simple.

Midweight Hammer Forged Barrel, Midlength, .750 Gas Journal THESE SERVE AS HBAR SERVICE BARRELS. HBAR ENGRAVING AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION Cold Hammer Forged Barrels Hammer forging is a process in which a drilled, reamed and honed blank has the rifling formed into it by placing the barrel blank on a mandrel that has the rifling ground into its outer surface. The blank and mandrel are then placed between two opposing power hammers and the blank is beaten around the mandrel leaving the rifling pattern in the barrel. This process leaves an extremely smooth and consistent surface on the inside of the barrel, that lends itself to excellent accuracy. The forging process also work hardens the barrel steel causing a very durable and much longer lasting barrel. Our barrels have a slight taper to the bore during the hammer forging process to ensure better accuracy. Midweight profile is .750 under the handguard and .740 in front of the .750 gas journal. Chrome lined chamber and bore The hard chrome used to coat the chamber and bore are harder than the barrel steel itself. This aids in longevity and also reduces fouling and corrosion often seen in austere field conditions. Chrome also aids in chambering, extraction, and overall reliability of the weapon. Thus, giving the operator a more reliable weapon with less maintenance. We have our chrome lining applied to twice the thickness of standard small arms barrels. Barrel steel The steel used in our hammer forged barrels was specifically developed as machine gun barrel steel to help increase the barrel life under prolonged rigorous firing schedules. Twist rate We use a 1/7 (1 turn in 7 inches) twist rate in all our barrels. This is the best overall twist rate for this weapons system. The 1/7 twist will stabilize any of the light weight 5.56 bullets as well as any other twist. This twist will also stabilize the newer heavier bullets that are being used allowing the operator to get the best performance out of this weapon system. Chamber We use a true 5.56 chamber in our barrels allowing the operator the ability to use the higher pressure military ammunition on the market and helping to enhance reliability. Feed ramps Our barrels are supplied with extended M4 style feed ramps to enhance overall feeding and weapons reliability. Finish The barrel finish we use is a manganese phosphate finish (Mil-Spec A-A-59267). This finish allows for better absorption of oils to help prevent corrosion. These barrels are all finished prior to any gas blocks being mounted to ensure the entire surface is covered to maximum protection even under the gas block. HPT/MP inspected HPT(high pressure test) is a process where a proof load rated at 70,000 psi, far exceeding a normal round, is fired trough the barrel then the barrel is MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) to detect any flaws in the barrel steel from the proof load. These are standard quality assurance tests performed on all our hammer forged barrels to ensure the highest quality product. Weight 16" Midlength 1lb 15oz stripped |
