What are BCG overdosed symptoms?

Trying to troubleshoot. What are signs that your BCG is cycling too fast?

Ironically, oftentimes similar to some undergassed symptoms, like failure to lock back on empty or failure to feed a round from the magazine, but from running too fast instead of short stroking. But mostly if you've shot a few AR's you can feel the difference.

Recoil is sharper. Ejection at 1 oclock. And a fail to feed. First thing to look at is how old the buffer spring is. Then use a heavier buffer or adjustable gas block.

You could also use a ruler on the spring itself right?

All of the above and to add it's a lot harder on your brass. cases are usually dinged up. recoil is more violent and you can feel the buffer bottoming out in the tube.

I was going to add something, but the boys already covered it. Do you have an adjustable gas block?

Bolt will outrun the magazine and crash into the body/shoulder of the next cartridge in line. Empty cases will get caught in the ejection port. Empty cases will get big dings along the body and fly lazily forward. Bolt may appear to not lock back on an empty magazine, especially if the mag spring is weak.
