[QUOTE="MCVetSteve, post: 3616088, member: 33591"] The friction ring is the brass ring that has another little steel ring around it? That was in front of the recoil spring when I took it apart, so I put it back there. The magazine tube had a little bit of corrosion on it that I scrubbed off, the brass ring had some other corrosion that I scrubbed off, the spring had some corrosion as well, all scrubbed off easily and smooth and lightly oiled before it went back together. I didn’t realize the brass ring was a friction surface. Again, after I realized what “recoil operated” implied, and realized that I was doing essentially the same thing as “limp wristing” for a semi auto handgun, it ran the next two shells just fine. Further, I remembered that the first time my wife ever shot a shoulder fired weapon as an adult was the AR that I bought her and while under my not so expert tutelage. It hurt her collarbone and I told her to pull the buttstock into her shoulder pocket, so I realized she must have been doing that more than I was. [/QUOTE]
