However, polymer can warp in extreme heat, potentially causing feeding issues, especially with certain AK platform magazines designed to be more robust against heat.

This guide addresses a common issue with some PSA Sabre AR-15 upper receivers identified by the speaker, Cody. The problem stems from improper milling of the internal receiver walls, leading to excess material that obstructs the magazine well. This can cause significant difficulty in seating and removing magazines, even if the rifle functions once loaded. The guide outlines visual inspection and functional testing steps to diagnose this defect.

This guide, from Curtis Hallstrom of The VSO Gun Channel, provides essential tribal knowledge for AR-15 owners using the platform for home defense. It focuses on the critical technique of slightly downloading standard capacity magazines to 28 or 29 rounds.
