I’ve been having problems with my RF-15 as well. The bolt carrier group sometimes doesn’t cycle properly, and it’s super frustrating! Anyone else facing this?

Absolutely! My RF-15 has had serious failure to feed issues, especially with certain ammo types. It seems to struggle with the more budget-friendly options. What kind of ammo are you using?

Same here! I’ve had extraction problems since day one. Sometimes the casings get stuck, which is a huge headache during long sessions at the range.

You know, I wonder if these mechanical issues are due to under-lubing. I really pack it in when I clean mine, and I rarely have problems—knock on wood!

That’s an interesting thought! I might try that, since I’ve been a bit stingy with the lube. If it fixes the problem, I’ll have to rename my RF-15 to ‘Slippery Pete’!

I’m not sure if it affects accuracy, but when I first tried mine, I felt it was a bit heavy. It’s getting smoother with use.
