AR being uncooperative

[lasher]

Staggering the rings on the bolt don't make the slightest bit of difference.

if you say so, but the Army Manual on page 2-30 states they should be spaced @120 degrees apart

I've had guys that have bought these real nice barrels but a cheap gas block. On a few I noticed that they fit loose. They brought it back and told me that it doesn't cycle. Stuck a good clamp on gas block on them and everything works just fine.

Why would clipping 2 coils make the round stick in the chamber? Sounds like you have a chamber problem.

It might have been a fluke, as the spent shell was extracted every other time, and my guess is a stuck round would be more likely with the heavier buffers and springs I started with. Since I didn't experience that issue prior to today, I'm guessing it's a gas issue like the others said. I didn't try any more rounds at that point though, so I don't know for sure if it is indeed a chamber issue.

is it a nitride barrel (melonite) ? some of those have lots of brown goop left in the chamber after the bath, i use a nylon chamber brush on a cleaning rod and my dewalt batter drill to clean them before any assembly begins, patches come out stained reddish brown, some reports of causing extraction problems tho, not ftf

If You want to stagger the rings, go for it. I'm sure the Army is always correct.

i will, thanks for your approval of me doing it my way, you're entitled to do it your way as well

You're right, that IS what the Army FM says, but GOML is also right. It doesn't make any difference. I also at one time argued the that same point and I was proven wrong

i don't care LOL

Dissapater rifles often have this problem. Looses too much gas from the port being so close to the muzzle. Aside from everything else mentioned, you may have to open the gas port some.

Do you know what the opening is now?
