Help diagnose issue

Initially, after shooting the weapon for sometime, I noticed the headspace was very tight 0.012 so I got +6 rollers and a 90° locking piece for my full-size. Today I went to test it and was zeroing it with 124+ P Winchester Ranger I was yelling it and noticed that it was flying probably 7 to 10 feet to my right. I had a double feed where a shell casing fell back into the gun and seized it up. I disassembled it and cleared it out, but when I reassembled it and continued shooting the occasional casings that would eject would essentially fall right at my feet and then 80% of the time it would have a failure to extract. What happened and what is going on?

——UPDATE——

Yall are the bomb. While I appreciate all the help and support the extractor spring is bent. I’m not a go armorer but I know the extractor shouldn’t jiggle and be loose. I have extra extractor springs on hand. Taking it back tomorrow to test. It makes sense because after the jam, the ammo that used to fly 10 feet away was plopping at my feet if it ejected.

Expresslane letter

Long story short expresslane who manages the va express lane says that I didn’t pay a toll on 95 SB and they sent me a letter with my license plate. I call them and they say I owe the toll of 5.05 plus 15 in admin fees. They also say they work with ez pass but are a separate entity. I told them that my account is on auto renew and I have a primary and secondary credit card on the account so it’s impossible that my account balance was zero like they said. Ez pass also confirms there was money in my account at the time and is sending me a letter. They won’t waive the fee even though it wasn’t my fault, ez pass says they dont dispute claims, I don’t want to pay 4 times the fee because I didn’t do anything wrong. Any help would be wonderful.

Amex platinum card fraud

Just wanted to bring to y’all’s attention and put it out there for everyone or anyone that has elderly parents. I just got called by American Express saying that someone opened up a fraudulent account for a platinum card in my name. I work in law-enforcement so a few red flags went up in my head number one is they got my name right and my phone number right. I started asking some questions to try a little bit deeper like what was the charge for it was to a website that I have purchased from in the past but it’s been a while. when I asked him to verify the last four of my social, he said he could not give me that information and when I asked him to send me a copy of the statement to my email after letting him know that I was law-enforcement he said he could not send out that personal information to me either which was a big red flag. He then proceeded to tell me that the card was opened up in China and it was made in my name, but did not have my Social Security number. more flags went up and I told him you cannot open up a card without someone’s Social Security number in the United States number two is if you live overseas, you cannot buy a gun in the United States number three is credit card companies wouldn’t know if you have a valid or invalid permit to purchase a firearm if your state has those laws. I got all his information and verified it with American Express that he does not work for them and the number that he is calling from is not American Express even though the caller ID shows up as American Express just wanted to let you guys know because I could see how elderly or senile individuals can fall to the scam very easily as he was very convincing, and even when I got angry with him and sorry raising my voice, he remain calm and acted like a real American Express customer service agent.

Atrius super selector help

Alright guys I’m legitimately stumped. I have a atrius super selector, adjustable gas block on a 11.5” sbr. Gas open wide and using a h2 buffer with the Geisselle 42 h1 buffer ( weights replaced to be h2) and the braided spring. With a normal spring it does maybe 1-3 round bursts. With the braided it does 1-2 shots consistently. With a suppressor it’s flawless. I swapped it to a normal carbine buffer and it obviously doesn’t work at all. I need help yall.

Is length worth fps?

Long story short I have a 5.56 sbr. In the 10.3 config with 55 gr 5.56 soft points I’m getting an average of 2563.1 fps. Swapped the barrel from a Daniel defense to a rosco 11.5” and got an average with the same ammo of 2636.6 fps. I’d rather be shorter than longer (first time I’ve ever said that in ref to length. But if that 73.5 fps difference is more beneficial than length I’ll keep it. Someone please help unfuk my brain. Thanks in advanced.

Sorry should put it’s for HD/ general training and I’m running this suppressed.

Need help

Ok guys. So I had a 10.3” that with a suppressor ran beautifully without I could not get it to function with even a h buffer. I swapped it for a 11.5” now with a h2 or h3 buffer and an adjustable gas block. Best I could get is a 2 or 3 round burst followed by a dead trigger. I’m trying a 5.9oz buffer next but I need help. The adjustable buffer when turned down won’t work even though in semi woks fine. It’s an atrius super selektor for reference.

I haven’t changed anything except do the barrel. The bcg, changing handle and everything else is all the same but a different barrel and adjustable gas block.

I couldn’t do it….

I wanted a modernization of the mp5, the ability to use lasers and red dots. I threw on the Utg mono rail. While it worked I felt like it stole the magic from the mp5. Besides people who say they buy an mp5 for anything besides nostalgia is lying. Behold the Midwest industries nv rail (1913). Allows for red dots and laser, paired with the military armament corp flashlight hand guard allows for suppressor usage. While the HOB is 4.5” I suspect with the acro mount or t2 mount you would have a lower HOB. This allows for a chin weld and easy passive aiming with NODs. Please let me know how this abomination looks. I feel like it’s that 60 year old man trying to drink shots and go to raves while his body is begging him to stop.

Classic or modernized? Classic has the surefire handguard light but doesn’t let me use a suppressor, modernized is with the utg monolithic. I LOVE the classic look but I also want to be able to suppress it…. I’m torn please help me decide
