I replaced the spring about 3 years ago. But I will buy a new one as soon as I can find one. Also when i was taking it apart i noticed there was no pin holding the gas tube to the gas block so I just went and picked one up.
Well there's your problem.
LOL
The gas port pressure on a 20" barrel AR is over 19,000 PSI (the shorter carbine barrels are even higher). There is nothing in the gas tube that you are going to remove with a pipe cleaner that would not have been blown out by the gas pressure.
I bought the pipe cleaners and they came out just as clean as they went in. The pin i bought from the local gun shop did not fit so i just ordered one from dpms for .25 cents. he said it should be here Monday. I cant believe a little .25 cent pin was causing the problem. we will see next week. Thanks again for all your guys help.
Does anyone know where i can buy the pin i need that hold the gas tube to the sight that would get it to be by friday? I ordered it from dpms they told me it would be here today. I called them and they have not ever processed the order yet.
I'd send a PM to both MAS Gunworks and 10.5stang and ask them. They're the same company, but I don't know which one would get the PM sooner.
I have a few.
Thank you Ill send you a pm right now.
