762x39 wouldn't run with anything ,light weight or standard , even with the agb cranked wide open. Tried everything from empty buffer to cutting 6 coils off a spring.

Finally mic' ed the gas port. One full half port forward on the barrel. Made a spacer for the gb setting it forward. Runs like a rolex.
I am a happy dog.
Next project? Maybe another long barreled 224 valk.?? Yotes have been yapping.


So the gas port on the barrel didn't line up with the gas port on the block?

Yea, that will cause problems.

As I've previously mentioned, I have the $50.00 Teslong borescope. It's great for checking gas port alignment. It's part of my trouble shooting regiment now.

Glad you figured it out.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
