What a drag. Have you tried multiple mags from different manufacturers?
nah. Santa needs to bring me a Pablo for Christmas. He's got all the Barrett mags. I'm going to try a magspring swap, a Colt GI 5.56 and a 5.56 Pmag. All I have in 6.8 are ASC 10 and 20rd mags.
If that super light buffer is the ONLY way the rifle works, then for sure you are undergassed. Not normal at all for a 6.8. You need to find out why/how/what.
Dude you need to tell me and very carefully video how freely the bolt moves in the carrier, but even then gas should drive the BCG hard.

Looks OK, but I was referring to having the cam pin in, BCG in fully assembled mode. How does it move then? Ideally bolt and all should move in and out quite freely not hanging.

My opinion is: the lighter the buffer the better unless bolt bounce becomes an issue. I like a light buffer, adjustable gas, and a flat wire recoil spring. It would be good to know how far and which direction the brass is flying. Oil that fugger up and run it some more to break it in.

Sure, less weight on the rifle overall with a light buffer, but something just ain't right. Loose ends make my ass itch!
A little sticky should work, just not all burred and hanging. You are losing gas somewhere. I suppose your keys all came installed. A few weeks ago I thought you mentioned sealing something up with some goop......is that working for sure?
