I found the stock change made a really big difference for me, and opens up a word of options. Much better cheek weld and better eye alignment for optics.
Mine was running good at one with s&b surplus out of the box but not Hornaday sst
I've had some ammo cycle at 1, everything at 2 so far, that goes for xcr-l and m.

I've also had no issues running on setting 1. I would double check the screw holding the gas block to the barrel and any other gas system bits.
Hello,
I recently acquired a new to me, used Robinson Arms XCL-R SN XL09*** cambered in 5.56.
Has anyone here in Canada had the Receiver Rear updated (by Wolverine) from the Type 1 to the Type 1 Modified, as noted within the Robinson Armament XCR Parts Identification web page. I see I would then also need to buy both the Type 2 bolt and Carrier.
All the other parts appear current.
For the most part this rife shoot rather well, and I have only experienced a couple of jams when the spent cartridge failed to fully eject, and this only occurred when the rifle was hot, so I am also thinking I upgrade to a 2016 Extractor, and the most current XCR Extractor Springs as well as the new Omni XCR Brass Deflector.
After doing some reading online, before my last trip up to the range, I cleaned and then put a lot of oil in and around the bolt and that seems to help.
I also noticed there is noticeable play between the lower and up that I can eliminate by pressing my thumb up against the main pin. This is this my first XCR I do not know what normal play would look like. Is it normal to the main pin to wear or is this movement between the upper and lower normal?
And finally, this is my first "Tactical" rifle. I understand that Oil does not play well within the gas system. Clearly, there is steal on steal wear within the moving parts fo the Operating Rod & Recoil Springs, Spring Guide inner and outter.
After cleaning off the carbon from these parts and the inside of the tube, what is the best way to keep the parts lubricated without having too much oil in the system?
Thank for your time.

My rifle to has a bit of play between and upper and lower. I put a small piece of gorilla tape where the two meet at the take down pin. Took care off all my play.
I had a extractor spring go bad on rifle, didn't matter what gas setting I put it on would jam. Replaced it with the new orange ones haven't had a problem since.
One or two week ago 2 dealers posted such used XCR-L at the same time. The one at 1800$ sold within hours. Not sure if it was at Reliable or another shop. SJhardware had an older model at 1900$ and sold in a few days.

Has anyone fired corrosive through their XCR? Any areas in specific where the corrosion has taken place due to being over looked?
