I bought well almost a new FAL, original IMBEL, imported in California. Yeah it's been around for a awhile.
My problem is that it is shortstroking, even with the gas regulator nut closed (max gas pressure) Once in a awhile it will fully cycle. 147 gr argintine ammo.
Any advice? Kinda stuck. Could it just be carboned up in the gas block, or the piston spring seems abnormally heavy could that cause it to shortstroke? It actually cocks the hammer then goes foward, so it is close but not all the way.
