I am curious about the Fal gas system. The only ammo I have used so far is Argentinian surplus purchased at the gun show. If I move the gas adjustment past the #3 setting I have problems with extraction and ejection. Basically, the rifle will not extract or eject spent rounds, so I have a single shot rifle.
Is the Argy ammo low powered? Is that why I have to have the gas setting at #3? With the setting at #3 the rifle throws brass at least 10 feet if not 15, but will not function properly at #3 1/2 or #4.
Obviously, I need to try some different ammo to see how it functions, but is there a problem with my rifle or just lower powered ammo?
BTW, please don't suggest going to the Falfiles, that place, while a good source of info, is a PITA to search.
Thanks, Mike.
