New thing for me. - 04/23/20
Went out to shoot in the new 80% lower a while ago.
Had 2 20 round mags and a 10.
The scope was adjusted but then it started short stroking sometimes.
Did the 1 shot drill and same on locking back the bolt only it got worse.
Pulled the bolt carrier out and removed the bolt.
Problem was the gas rings were toast.
They would not hold the carriers weight,one of the rings was missing about 1/3 and the others were wore bad.
This is a Colt upper that has less than 300 rounds shot thru it.
Now a question go back with the 3 gas rings or try the one piece spiral locks?
