I appreciate the tips everybody. It seems that most of the advice given are things we are doing for the most part, so at least we are on the right track. Thanks again

Hey, you could always strap a 5 gallon bucket to the rear tire of a truck, back her up, set it in drive and just watch it turn for a few hours. ( voice of experience kind of laughs at it now)

We have tried that some as well. The more I think about it the more I feel like conditions just haven't been right. I think inexeperience is playing a huge part still as well!

Currently in central Ohio, where the weather has been a roller coaster this year! A few if buddies and me have been hunting some coyotes, but havent had much luck. We know they are in the area, and have found plenty of evidence to substantiate their presence. Rib cages from dead, a skunk...
Yes, I knew there was a range. Even at 30 ft lbs, I dont believe I would be able to unthread it with as little effort as it took. It was hardly hand tight. I purchased this weapon ready to fire, did not build it, nor have I disassembled the barrel from the upper before. It should not have been...
I meant to ask, because I don't know. But, what is the torque value for the barrel nut on an ar-10? I recall for an ar-15 being in the realm of 80 ft-lb. But mine was barely hand tight. I'm pretty positive that was not correct.

No round being chambered and it operates smooth as silk. No binds and goes into battery perfectly. Now that I tinkered with it, it'll chamber a round but won't eject it now. Its stupid and annoying. I'm going to clean it again and polish the moving parts and see what happens.

That I could most definitely understand failure to eject if it were super worn. Thus rifle has probably less than 500 rounds through it. None were heavy loads. Its never shot anything over 150 grain bullet. So I don't think its endured enough to wear it out or damage it really.

No i haven't. From what I have inspected, there is minimal wear on the extractor itself. It is definitely worth a shot to replace it though.

Well. Tried a couple of different springs. Failure to feed isn't a problem anymore. Now its failure to eject the spent cartridge. Re installed original spring and oring and it no longer fails to feed. But it continues to fail to eject. Plunger and extractor both move freely as they should...
Did some research and may have answered my own questions. Probably should have done that before being lazy and just asking. So ill share what I found, so i can possibly help someone else who may have my same problems.
Its a common problem for the PA10 to fail to go into battery. Why? Because...
