Excuse me for being a dummy, but I'm not familiar with a wsar?
Maybe you can provide more information. Are you using handloads ? What kind of ammo are you using ?

What kind of jams are you having? For example failure to feed or failure to eject?

Generally speaking jams are caused by bad magazines, poor ammo, or a dirty gun. You can eliminate one problem at a time until it's fixed.

Good luck with your situation, Eagle

Step one is to try a different magazine other then the Pro-Mags, which don't have a very good reputation.

Second is try a better grade of ammo just to eliminate the ammo as the problem.
