[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2869895, member: 13284"] The age of the gas cylinder will have little bearing on whether or not it is in spec. I would look at other issues first. Completely strip the rifle and give it a thorough cleaning and lubrication. Especially the gas plug if it as heavily fouled as you are saying. Also make sure that the gas plug is tightened properly. If it is a post-war plug (not a single slot) you can use a 1/4" socket extension to tighten the plug. You will also need to make sure your op rod spring looks to be in good condition...this would be the first part that I would consider replacing if a simple cleaning and lubrication doesn't help.
