Yeah, probably that gas too but in this case, I'm referring to my LAR-308. It's an internally stock factory DPMS.
Yesterday, I was able to get through a 20 round mag with no problems but after that, with the same rounds, I couldn't get 3 in a row off. Some were stove pipes, some were FTF, some didn't even eject from the chamber (jammed another round behind it).
I tried different magazines, then went to different rounds (CBC, ZQI, and even Norma .308 match). No difference overall. I put 1 round in the mag and squeezed it off, and the bolt did not lock back (tried that 3 times in a row). If I charged it normally on an empty mag, the bolt would lock back.
I did some searching and there are a few things it could be but I don't want to just start replacing things without knowing for sure. One of the most obvious things is to make sure the gas block is aligned correctly but I have no idea how to check that.
I'm willing to pay someone to troubleshoot this (as long as they know what they're doing) to make it reliable and more fun to shoot! Or, I am VERY willing to shadow someone and be taught! I love learning! Of course, I'll still pay
