[QUOTE="Yourshoesareuntied, post: 2009685, member: 25446"] Ok now that all that is done.. AR pistol gas systems can be tricky, or unforgiving..comparied to carbine gas systems. I have one that runs great, it's very dependable but it wasn't always that way. There is such a short amount of time for the powder to burn and create enough gas pressure that your setup has to be tight. I tried the gas block with set screws that come up from the bottom and was unable to get it to cycle without short stroking I ended up getting a jp adjustable gas block..the clamping style. Also added the o ring to the extractor spring. Truth is it was a RRA complete pistol it ran great out of the box.. but I had to put a different forend on it and that required a lowpro gas block and thats where my lessons on the AR gas system started.
