impalacustom - I've going to put a few rounds through sloppy wet. If it still fails, I'll try an h2. Thanks.

Sport45 - yes. The mag release is in the intended slot on the magazine.

Ky hunter - I'm hoping the trigger needs some breaking in. It feels a little rough at the point of firing. My only other rifles are a heavily used Marlin 60 and a Garand (obviously also heavily used), so I'm used to a well worn trigger system.

DPris - why's that? I feel like grease sticks to the components better than oil. I use it in my 1911(slide only) and Garand with no problems. I realize that also means carbon and grime stick better to, but I don't mind the tradeoff.

Edit: Impala - Just doing some research and my Vltor kit appears to have come with a 5.3 oz buffer. Are you saying I should try a 4.6 oz buffer?
