ok im done with the BHO falling in. i did everything that everyone here suggest and it still falls every once in a while. better than how it started but i dont trust it. i like the idea of the BHO but i realized i can live without it. are there any negatives with function of the gun with the BHO removed?

well i went around town and bought evry different type of low power shells i could find. the only thing it wont eat is the 1180fps winchesters. one thing i did notice is while i was shooting some of the 1200fps winchesters i turned the gas plug to setting one just to see what it would do. it cycled just fine. think i may be over gassed so i ordered the auto plug and a css puck. since its shooting well next step will be conversion and some furniture. got two 12rd mags coming in and about to get a 20rd md drum. really injoying this gun.

I also cycled the weapon about 400 times by hand, shot two boxes of rem 1 1/8 loads and left the action open for a week to try and compress the spring some.

Just finished this mod. Brand new gun with 4 gas holes. None of them were partially not drilled and only two were partially block by gas block. Got everything off drilled main hole to 11/32 and drilled gas ports to 5/64. Still getting 100% fte on Winchester 1oz loads. 1 1/8 cycle just fine. Before the mod the bolt was only opening about an inch and a half. Now it's almost ejecting them just barely catching on the end. I have done the bolt drop test and looked at my piston and everything is in spec. Should I drill out the gas ports one size larger or should I try a after market plug and puck?
