Cheechbubba 6 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 How far is the gas puck supposed to be able to travel down the gas tube? I am having FTE problems and have checked the holes, etc. The gas puck seems to only travel about an inch before it hits something at the back of the Gas Block.

haugpatr 972 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just take the puck out and you will see what stops it. Sounds normal from your description. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep... definitely a stop there... So I guess the gas puck only impinges on the rod for that inch and just that action forces the rod the rest of the way for a complete cycle? Trying to figure out why it is not ejecting. Seems like I have 3 holes that seem unobstructed... at least I can put a paperclip in them. Next step I suppse is to remove the Gas block and check the holes as described in the FTE thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 There are many things that could be effecting your gun. Is it converted or in stock form? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nashuaguns 3 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 the movement you are describing sounds normal to me. Couple of Qs to help everyone better answer you: Stock gas plug or aftermarket? Stock puck? What ammo are you getting FTEs with? What Gas Setting are you on? How many ports does your gun have? Are you planting the stock firmly in your shoulder? How many rounds have you put through it? Hand cycled it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was just getting frustrated... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
