This review details a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) H&R M16A2 build that experienced a Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) failure, specifically blown gas rings, after only 2,000 rounds. The speaker demonstrates the BCG failing the 'stand test' and expresses disappointment in the premature wear of PSA/H&R components. The review highlights potential reliability concerns with this specific build's components.

Essential AR-15 spare parts include gas rings, buffer springs, extractor springs, and firing pin retaining pins. Shorter barrels accelerate wear on internal components. Measure buffer springs for serviceability: carbine springs should be at least 10 1/16 inches, rifle springs 11 1/4 inches. Keep original mil-spec trigger parts as backups for aftermarket triggers.

This expert-level entry debunks the common AR-15 myth that gas ring alignment causes cycling issues. Instruction from Brownells' Steve Austrom explains that gas rings move independently, and the probability of alignment causing functional problems is negligible. The AR-15's proven reliability confirms this myth is busted.
