AR 15 issue

That pic isn't very clear. If that is from gas leaking out, you've got something really buggered up. Your gas tube or gas block would have to be busted for that to happen. I would think so, anyway. I've never seen that.

Have you tried other ammo since you started shooting wolf?

I went back to Remington and also tried pmc. Yes that is gas leaking how hard is it to change the gas block or do I need a gun smith?

Its pretty simple. You can get by with just a set of punches and a hammer.

Just a suggestion, like the ones above. The gas tube may need to be cleaned, it may have carbon build up from that ammo. You will need some long pipe cleaners, and solvent. Make sure there is nothing blocking the inside of the tube. You might also while you are at it clean your bolt and carrier real good, checking for carbon, and make sure the bolt is moving freely back and forth in the carrier.

Hope this helps

So do you think if i change it out that should fix it?

I would take it apart and see if you notice any cracks or holes where there shouldn't be any. If you don't see any, give the whole works a good cleaning, reassemble and try it out.

OK ill take it apart in the morning ang see what happens. Thank you guys for your help
