HEY ALL...was at my club range today to continue the break-in Ruger says for your new SFAR..have 150 rounds fired to date and was getting numerous fail to feed and no lock back...i did break it down completely at 100 rounds & also pulled the handguard to make sure it was not rubbing on the gas lock...pulled out the regulator also to clean that too...fired 40 factory rounds today..ww 150 power point & horn 168 bthp...
Just finished disassembly to clean it thinking the problem was dirty from firing....pulled handguard off and noticed the gas block was loose on the barrel...!!!! Did not notice that when i did the first cleaning....tightened the 2 3/32" set screws to 10inch lb torque.....will finish cleaning and try again tomorrow to see if it does what it is supposed to do.....fingers crossed....

Yeah! that would make for a flaky gas adjustment for sure. Hope it helps.
Interested in one of these, but think some kinks need to be ironed out first. You might be doin that.

Pete in central texas Did you loctite the set screws, so you don’t have to worry about them backing out again?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Very good Pete. Just checking man. I've seen guys just tighten things, and then they loosen up on them again, and then they scratch their head and ask why???
