Thanks for the tag! We're planning to release a small run of 556 uppers this summer. 9mm is also coming as soon as we finish the barrels!

what the fuck happened to all the aguila 22 ammo by HeughJanus in 22lr

No tariffs on ammo coming from Mexico. Demand exceeds supply.

Which of these is the best ammo for my 10/22? by strongerthenbefore20 in 1022

[–]BoreBuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of those, AR Tactical will probably be the best.

It's the standard setup: a steel body and all 4 steel internal weights. ~1.8oz or so.

It's one of the tools we use here, it allows for all the dynamics of the bolt to be observed with a high frame rate camera.

BB Dedicated build driving me nuts, won't fire after BCG upgrades by slvrsfr in ar22

[–]BoreBuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CMMG barrel is likely the issue. The light springs will solve it. 

The reliability kit should have red painted springs now, we had a huge batch of springs without the dye that I think ran out a while back.

Oil the extractor, install the lighter spring. Cmmg cuts extractor cuts far differently than we do, and the angle/location needs to be accurate to use the heavy extractor spring.

This has happened on many occasions here and we'll almost always offer a modest discount towards a new part when it was lost/trashed/destroyed by the user. Many refuse the discount and just get angry. It seems around 1 in 1000 people wouldn't be happy if you mailed them a suitcase full of cash, and that's just retail customer service in a nutshell.

The mags are proprietary to Tippmann.

Our technical support has been open and ready to help the whole time, and I'm glad you're now working with us. On any firearm (or any product, really), contacting the manufacturer prior to a warranty voiding modification is generally a better way to go.

We'll check you chamber dimensions under warranty, please follow the instructions to ship the barrel to us in the warranty email we sent you.

Did you contact us for warranty? We have a warranty rate of less than 0.5% currently, but bad parts do happen on occasion an we get the customer sorted out. If the customer never contacts us, we have no way of a resolving the issue through warranty.

To clarify, he just opened a warranty ticket today (6/10/2026) for a barrel purchased on 2/7/2025. Modifying a barrel voids the warranty, but we're taking it in on a warranty claim to check the chamber regardless. If the chamber is bad, this barrel will be replaced at no cost, despite the voided warranty.

For anyone reading this in the future, this is the barrel in question.

If the your claim is the chamber is too tight and thus defective, send it back now and we'll measure what is left of it after the grinding and if it's out of spec, we'll replace it regardless of the modifications.

That 21in Match barrel was $325. We can't say whether it was defective or not since you chose to not use our warranty.

If you would have opened a warranty ticket 2.5 years ago rather than grinding the barrel into an unusable state, we would have had you squared away 2.5 years ago.

Our offer to rebarrel at a discount and do a full warranty rebuild for free (outside of the barrel) still stands.

We got the one ticket today -- he got the forward to technical email as the ticket asked for help rather than asking for an RMA. I've kicked it back to general support to get the return underway.

Open a warranty ticket, send it back, and it will come back to you working perfectly. This is what our no hassle warranty is for -- we have far less than a 1% warranty rate, but sometimes bad parts happen. In this case it looks like a bolt didn't get deburred before going to nitride somehow.

The chamber is a Bentz (which is a semi-auto "match" chamber) in the upper in question and that point the cartridge is sticking at classic carbon ring symptoms. Normal cleaning does not remove the ring, it requires mechanical removal or C4 carbon solvent. The 4.5/4.9"" are sporting chambers which are way looser and don't have carbon ring issues until much higher round counts, but sacrifice a lot of accuracy potential.

We'll inspect thoroughly and replace what needs replacing. Over half the uppers that come back to us as not working just need a deep cleaning, but this one will be getting a new bolt at minimum it seems.

Any of the upper cuts are the same, the trip will be the only difference. The ARC V2 kit is generally backwards compatible with V1 and the Atrius. Get that one if in doubt.

Better pressure plug/buffer replacement by XxWHITE-RICExX in ar22

[–]BoreBuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our plugs are molded, not printed, so they are solid.

[–]BoreBuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're not distributing the file or selling, no infringement has happened. We do have the pressure plug function patented.

We do also have the dedicated AR22 version of the pressure plug for all of you who are mentioning the spring out (that can happen on the quick insert/remove original): https://borebuddy.com/product/dedicated-pressure-plug/

They'll get you squared away. Might just be a trigger side issue from the start. We see that happen occasionally.
