Well I took it out and test fired it yesterday and got mixed results.
I think part of my problem may be the ammo I'm using.
I have a case of Indian ammo head stamped 1975.
I dont think it was stored very well.
The gun cycled just grand on a gas setting of 3 using american eagle .308 150 grn fmj.
The cases would eject forward away from the gun at about a 40 degree angle and go about 10 feet.
But if I put that Indian stuff in it and I couldn't get it to cycle at all even on 0.
Maybe I need a new gas rod or maybe it's because I cut the barrel down to 18 inches.
Maybe a combo of both.
Dunno.
It certainly cycled smoother than before and I think the polishing and rail widening helped a lot.
I dunno, a gas setting of 3 just seems high to me.
