devoid 1 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hello, Finally finished making my conversion work! I re-profiled the bolt and polished the hammer, carrier, bolt, and rails but was still not able to get the low brass to cycle. Since I'd done everything else I had no choice but to take on the gas ports. It went relatively easy although I could have been a bit more considerate of the finish. My 4 ports were unobstructed but ~ 1/16th. I tried all 4 at 5/64 first - still FTE. Then took the two middle ones up to 3/16 - ding, ding, ding! Zero FTE's with the cheap Federal stuff on MD 's 20 round drum at the #2 setting, and full FTE on the #1 setting with a 5 round factory mag, so I do believe I found the sweet spot! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the content on this topic, as there's no way I could have done it otherwise. Thank you! I don't have any experience with slings, any recommendations?
