OK Kids, I tried this at home . . .

Built an AR-15 pistol with the shorty buffer tube. After several hundred rounds it still does not return to battery correctly after each round; maybe only 1 out of 10 rounds work what I like to call "the right way".

The question is . . . is it the buffer tube? Would a full length pistol buffer tube make the difference?
