Just put together my first AR the other week. My first outing went flawlessly cycling wise. .223 55gr, 5.56 55gr, 62gr, 68gr, 75gr.
I cleaned everything after that first outing; bore, chamber, bcg, charging handle....
But when I went out today, cycling of 55gr was sporadic. Bolt would mostly stay shut after the last shot. Sometimes I had feeding failures. The ftf frequency seemed to go down the longer I went. But the bolt would still stay shut. I didn't have enough time to shoot any heavier bulllets today.
Are you supposed to take the gas tube off and run through it as well? (I only shot 60 rounds the first time.)
