[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3119487, member: 29706"] First thing I would do is check the gas block and tube for an obstruction. If you had to mortar the rifle to extract the surplus ammo the stuff may have been out of spec IMHO and who knows what it could have done down the bore. You could also just put a round in the chamber and extract it by pulling the charging hammer to see if something is acting up there as it should extract easily. I would probably pull the gas bock and tube and look at the gas hole in the barrel and the gas tube/gas block as even if you can get some flow through it some crud inside of it will cause issues. I hose mine down with CLP every few hundred rounds to keep it clear. Basically I open up the chamber and spray it down through the tube when I am at the end of my session and let it sit a few minutes then pump a couple rounds through and let the gas blow the crud out and then hose the bcg down.
