Looking for input on my new AR.

Radical brand.
Chambered in 5.56
Rifle will only fire PMC 5.56 ammo
I have tried 5 different brands of ammo with poor results. It seems that the rifle will not fully chamber the round. Very light or no primer strike and then I have to really work to get the unfired round out of the chamber.

Cleaned several times and dry lubed all moving parts.

I am new to the AR game and would welcome any advice.
 
just curious.....are you using 223 ammo or 5.56???.....

Many ARs are very poorly made and have multiple problems. Even if they cycle well the accuracy is sometimes horrific at best.
Obviously many work and shoot great. But those that cost less than $800.00 are rarely gems.
If it still gives trouble after a super chamber cleaning and a good magazine is being used, then you may need professional help from a good smith or a return box from the manufacturer, to fix it.
Good luck
I'll stick with a good bolt gun any day.
 
I bought a basic OR Bushmaster and that things functions every time in every condition with any and all ammo. It shoots really accurately too although some say that basic models usually are less than stellar.
Like others have said, they're not all the same even though they look like they are.
I've shot some coyotes with mine and it seems like the cartridge is plenty powerful even for the "big" dogs unless the range is far-far.

I haven't heard of that brand, but not suprising since there are so many fly by night AR manufacturers popping up. AR's are pretty simple and hard to get wrong with mil spec parts.

A quality build shouldn't be giving you those kind of problems. From the description it does sound like a barrel issue. I have had excellent results with Aero Precision barrels. Their barrels are made by Ballistic Advantage and just branded Aero. If it was my rifle, I would swap barrels and get a .223 wylde chamber
