o believe me. i use all sorts of automotive oils and lubes on my guns...Mobil-1 baby!
Do you have another AR to swap the upper and lower to see which part the problem follows?
sounds like time for a call to the MFG.
No this is my only AR.
I've heard this was possible but I never wanted to believe it was true!
Now that I have a well paying job, I decided to get myself a quality AR15. Then I wound up with this poor excuse of a rifle from Stag. I might just sell it and take my losses and go get another AR556.
the rugers are nothin to sneeze at. theyre good ARs. the M&P sport 2 is supposed to be good too. and i hear ruger is coming out/ came out with like the "next step up" from the AR556. its like the ruger MPR or somethin like that. optics ready.Yuuup. My first AR was a Ruger AR556. That thing ran like a champion. It would shoot anything I'd put in it, it'd feed from any magazine, and I went through probably 2000 rounds before the first cleaning and I think I only ever had 1 FTE. Had to sell it when I got a job in eastern Oregon and needed money to move from Portland.

all of mine are all assembled by me in my garage from parts kits and well researched parts.each one has its purpose and the amount of money ive put into them shows. i have ones that i would ask $300 for and ones i would ask $2500 for. they all work!
OP, if you are seeing shavings around the feed ramps and scrapes on the bullet noses maybe there is something wrong with the way the top cartridge "presents".
The cause could be the magazine feed lips, feed ramp geometry or the way the mag is held in the lower.
Since you've already tried several mags it may not be a mag problem, although I would try a "known good" Pmag and a "known good" USGI mag before I ruled out a mag issue.
This ^^^Can you open the rifle and show us some good close up pics of the feed ramps of your upper? Both the receiver and the barrel extension.

Need good pic of the ramps.
Those are clean-looking ramps.
Is this a 6.8 rifle ?
That looks low.
