[QUOTE="OKC_Jim, post: 1793462, member: 13601"] Little update guys, I have the carbine stripped. Turns out the gas cylinder nut is loose. It is still staked in position so I can't get it out, but it does wiggle a bit. I'm betting this is the problem? Anybody know how to tighten it? Do I need the special wrench, or is there another way. To answer a few of the questions you guys have asked, the receiver is Saginaw. The rest of the carbine is a mix of USGI parts. The carbine is in pretty nice shape. It isn't in overly used shape. The ammo is Remington and Monarch FMJ 110 grain .30 Carbine ammo with the standard round nose shape of typical .30 carbine ammo. I have tried two different USGI mags, but I haven't changed to springs in either of these. I have also changed the operating slide spring, but it hasn't made a difference. Anyway, I'm thinking it is this loose nut. Not sure how I missed that. I've had it apart several times. Now to see if I can tighten it without the wrench, or find a wrench. Jim [/QUOTE]
