[QUOTE="Bassin'ForLife, post: 1768493, member: 3603"] Couple of quick questions for any FAL guru's out there. Backstory: Purchased an FAL from a friend a while back, knowing it would probably need a bit of work. It consistently will not eject, regardless of ammo or gas setting. I changed out the springs in both the upper and lower, no help. As far as I can tell, the bolt is only moving about halfway back at the most. So, my next project has been making sure that the gas system isn't malfunctioning at some point, which is where the questions come in: The tuning adjustment- how tight should the slider be? This one moves fairly easily, but I've handled FAL's where it was difficult to move and some that seemed like there was no spring tension at all. Gas tube- there is a gap where the gas tube meets the block around the chamber, probably 1/16-18th of an inch. I couldn't find anywhere in the field manual or online whether there was some sort of tolerance for this or if it was even supposed to be there. Any help would be appreciated, I'm having trouble finding any info on those two items specifically. [/QUOTE]
