I own a an FN FNAR which is a .308 semiautomatic made by FN. It is basically the BAR with a pistol grip and cold hammer forged barrel but the action is all BAR. I sent my rifle to a gun smith to have the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake installation, and after i have received my rifle back it will not cycle.
It has basically turned my rifle into a bolt action. I know Browning themselves that had the BOSS system as a muzzle brake. I dont think it is the muzzle brake that is the root cause. I believe that during the barrel removal and assembly something is not installed correctly and not allowing the gas system to operate correctly.
Anybody familiar with the workings of the BAR that can shed any light i would highly appreciate it. Thanks.
Here is a video of another member with an FNAR with the same muzzle brake without having any issues.
