Hello.
I just tested my new built upper and it has a chamber issue I assume. I bought a Shilen 6.5 Grendel Barrel and head spaced bolt. the round fires but fails to eject and I have to tap the charging handle back with my small plastic mallet to get the spent round out. I don't see any real roughness or burs in the chamber and no visible marks on the brass from such an issue. I am thinking I should contact Shilen and just send them the whole upper to make it right? I am running Hornady Black 123gr ammo so I doubt it's an ammo issue but any advice is appreciated.
