The A2 stock came with a rifle length spring and buffer. Still had same problem. I kept the rifle spring in the gun but out the original troy carbine weight in and it seems to have solved the problem for now.
Are you running a carbine buffer in a rifle buffer tube? Stop that! I'm not an expert but I believe this can destroy your gun and face. If the shorter buffer doesn't bottom your bolt carrier will be stopped by the gas key in the charging handle.
Hmm didnt know that was an issue. Ok will have to look for a further solution. Thank you.
I kept the rifle buffer spring in and just put in the carbine buffer and shot 4 rounds to see that it worked. I didnt realize its a nono. Now Ive looked into it and seen people use a spacer in a rifle tube with a carbine spring/buffer. If I use the rifle spring and a carbine buffer can I use a spacer?

I don't think so. Maybe you're looking for a JP SCS kit. For 180$us you will have 3 different spring strenghts and a spacer.
Or lighten your rifle with a lighter BCG from JP or Brownells titanium.
Or just be patient during break-in. Did you check your gas block as another suggested.

My friend bought TROY 102 and we finally went shooting yesterday. It performed 100% and was pretty accurate, with hand loads very close to 1". Bolt opened every time on an empty mag.
It has a dual extractor. I regret now I did not buy one!

I went out today but only with one type of ammo. I had a box of box of federal premium 165gr sierra gameking. Shot 19 out of 20 because the one had a ftf because I did not seat the magazine all the way in. No issues otherwise. 1inch 1/8 from 3 shot group and a little under 1.5inches from a 5 shot group. Both groups were shot pretty steady with probably 10 seconds in between. Overall I'm very happy with the rifle.

Cycling live ammunition through your rifle anywhere other than a space you can safely shoot your rifle is just asking for issues. Like previously stated, mechanical devices fail. Be safe use dummy rounds. Maybe a Canadian Firearms Safety Course refresher might be a good idea.

He was pointing it at the floor. Dont worry about it lol
These guns do not like 150gr. I got the same accuracy until I switched to a 168 and a 175 and then the groups tightened right up.

Ninja did a good review of his troy and it shot best with 150fmj federal ammo if I recall right on the particular day
I'm surprised. With a 1:10 twist I figured it needed the heavier bullets, at least mine did. It wouldn't shoot anything under the 168gr less than minute of target. Wasn't until I moved to 175gr that it really tightened up and I was even getting sub MOA on it.
Not to hijack this thread but It’s not optimal safety to load live rounds anywhere but where you intend to shoot.
If it has to be done a loading box or bullet trap should be used.
I frequently load a long gun in public areas, as my job permits and requires it be done sometimes. I always point the weapon where it won’t cause injury, and will cause the least amount of property damage during loading and unloading.
Load live rounds enough, and it will catch up to you; You will have an ND.
End Simon the Safety Bear sermon.
I don’t mean to come off as a hall monitor; just wanna help my fellow nuts.
I still haven’t shot my Troy. Also, it’s in the 300 serial range with dual extractors.
I also own the BCL 102 and the Stag 10. I’ve put the Stealth Recoil Spring in the Troy. I’ve also got the Stealth Recoil Spring in my BCL. The BCL required the Armaspec 1/4 spacers as the buffer spring assembly was too short in the Troy.
Most ammo and mags I have tried have worked well. Today I tried some federal tactical 175gr. It would fail to feed then I noticed it was punching holes I. The primers and I also saw primers pop out. Which is weird as everything else cycled fine and grouped well. ..
Short freebore or excessive headspace.
My Troy 102 didn't like the magpul pmags m3 308 magazines. The BCG is having a hard time feeding from those pmags and for some reason, the ammo won't feed properly because the ammo bends on the neck part of the ammo casing when I'm chambering a round. I have 2 pmags m3 308 and non of them work on my Troy 102. The factory magazine that came with the firearm worked flawlessly.
