well thought i'd update you all got mine back from ruger, last week i was told they intalled new barrel, barrel nut, BCG & upper and sealed the gas block when i was told this I asked to have them double check the issue i was having with extracting live rounds (way to hard to extract REALLY) i...

i talked with a local gunsmith and asked him about the gas block he suggested a few things i could do to seal it but that still leaves me with the BGC problem when theres a round in the chamber so i'm putting it back to stock and sending it to them and see how that go's i've been doing a lot...

thats for sure! :lol: last night while cleaning it I sprayed CLP in the gas system let it soak then blew it out with 100psi of air pressure the CLP shot out from around the gas block on the barrel so its leaking (unless 100psi was to much pressure?) thats the only place the CLP shot out from...

Thanks! I just got back from the range so its going to get disassembled inspected and fully cleaned again ok so i spent a lot of time watching video's and reading up on ar15's so while at the range i noticed a few things from what i learned today 1.) last round the bolt does not lock...

well with not much to do today I read about fail to feed some of these ar15's have a feed ramps came up a LOT of times so i took the rifle apart again and looked at the feed ramps then took a cartridge and let it glide across each a few times each time the bullet (tip) would get caught up at...

the cartridge will drop right in and fall out of the barrel with out any help, yes hard to unseat then moves freely when a round is in the chamber. with out a round in the chamber the BCG moves freely

would this also be the reason its so hard to un-chamber a live round?

steelshooterco so your saying the barrel is not deep enough in he upper receiver?

Aqualung i never changed my story I didn't wait for ruger to fix my rifle, I said i bent it then took it to the gun smith and he could not remove it so then I grabbed a pipe wrench and went at it finally got it off, my first call was about the fail to feed and she said try different ammo nothing...

i guess you guys are just ruger dies hard's lol I had it locked in a vice using a ar15 vise block with the special barrel nut wrench and yes bent it, thinking at the time maybe i did do something wrong as I said before but the gun smith couldn't get it off either, I didnt try to make ruger...

this really? you have no idea as to what my skills are or what i'm capable of, I have few other fire arms and have modded them with no issues at all in including my KIMBER WARRIOR 1911. Huntsman22 you maybe should of asked "if" i know my way around a firearm before you posted your one liner I...

well things tool a turn on me! i want a free floater on my rifle so picked one up from a local modded it to fit around the A2 sight since ruger pins the sight on top of the barrel could not fine a low profile gas block that gets pinned the same way (oh well) trying to get the barrel nut off i...

i cant blame it all on the rifle, this is my 1st one so i'm learning it and how to hold it and things like that plus i had a strikefire ll on it at the time witch i didnt like, I now have a Burris fullfeild tac30 with fastfire 3 that i think will help next time out

I just tapped the pins for the front sight in a little more and its not moving any more but noticed some wear marks on the barrel from the sight moving, not sure if it can bee seen that good in the pic (sorry thats the best pic i was able to take) and you can see some oil, is the oil in that...

hey guys thanks for all the response! the barrel it self is tight (checked after seeing your post) just the front sight assembly itself has a very little bit of wiggle, when looking down the sights i can rotate the front sight left to right, it less then a milometer though from side to side i...
