Thanks!

Same thing happened to mine...I had to shim the hop chamber/barrel towards the front of he receiver! I also filed the feed ramp on the underside of the hop chamber where it was striking just in front of the mag feed lip. I find this funny because I also have the latest WE M16VN and it doesn't not do this at all!
I also had trouble with the mag that came with the XM, it would not fit into the magwell of any of my WE guns...I did manage to figure that one out but it required a rubber mallet & some trial/error fitting!
Looks like the QC of the latest WE releases has somewhat taken a downward turn for the worse!
