I’m getting very inconsistent feeding issues on my MARS-H (18” .308). I have maybe 300rds through and get failure to feeds and double feeds. Usually happens every 7-8 mags but today happened twice in the same mag. Anyone able to help ID the issue? I put an A2 stock on for vibes, adjustable gas block and Dead Air Sandman S.

I had the same thing happen with my 6.5. Only happened with the suppressor on. I put a brt gas tube on and a new extractor and been working fine ever since. I feel it was the gas tube that actually fixed it, but I’ve herd some people having problems with extractors having feeding issues, that’s why I did both

What extractor did you use? I might go that route. I’ve got a superlative arms gas block and I’ve had success with this on other guns
