Interesting. Light or heavy barrel?

Light barrel. I've had 1/2 dozen regular XCR's. Both L and M models. This being my first key mod model. After 3 10 round mags the adjustment for the gas knob was too hot to adjust by hand, after 6 mags you could feel the heat right in the hand guard. Yes we were shooting quite quickly but the heat was drastic in comparison to the railed fore end versions.

Not exactly a huge issue but I have put a vert grip on now. Wasn't shooting with this evening.

Where did you buy the rail section?

Where did you buy the rail section?

Made it at home. Its a Magpul rail section. I had to shorten the bolts so not to hit the barrel.

Anyone know if there is a folding stock that can fit the AR adjustable stocks? IE. uses the AR15 buffer tube, but is folding?

Mine never liked LAR mags. I think RA downsized the gas port or made some major changes to bolt weight/spring rate because mine ran on setting 1, ejecting 15-20 ft. Hot ammo would cycle on the suppressor setting. To have guys now cranking it up to 4 to get them to cycle is concerning. Adjustable gas systems are for harsh conditions. Crank er up when she gets dirty to keep er chuggin along. If it needs to be cranked up to get a clean rifle cycling then something is wrong.

Anyone else have a problem with LAR mags? Maybe my FTE issue is a LAR mag issue?

Which 10 round mags is everyone using?

Magpul UBR?

That's the buttstock - I want a folding adapter that can fit an AR15 buffer tube.

I have always run XCR Micro Pistol LAR mags in my XCR's including my new Key Mod model without issue. I have had some issues with other LAR mags. The followers in the XCR Pistol mags seem to run smoother with in the mag body.

Yeah but is it possible that LAR mags would affect ejection? It seems that mags would only affect feeding?

C products lar mags work perfect in my latest model before the keymod. Got them from SFRC

I've had feeding problems with mag followers pictured on the right. Replace them with E Lander or Magpul followers, and your problems should be solved. C Products always worked for us.
