[QUOTE="CNY Yote Hunter, post: 2706328, member: 109650"] So to update all that have responded we have our answers…. 1, it has an adjustable gas block on it and adjusting it fixed the issue for sure. On top of that though I measured the cases out of that and compared them to the cases out of my bolt gun and am amazed at the difference in lengths of the spent cases. Consistently .015 longer on the AR fired brass than the bolt gun fired brass with the 6 pieces we measured. Neck diameter was also .010- .005 more on the AR fired brass vs the bolt gun and had one primer out of the 6 in the AR start to come out of the brass. So now my next question, the overpressure would be a clear cause of the primer issue, I’m assuming the gas block would have also been the cause of that too? So why would someone put an adjustable gas block on an AR? Is the same gas block usable for different calibers and how would one adjust it to specification and is there a pressure range specific to each caliber? Trying to learn here guys so don’t judge me on this lol, I’m a bolt gun guy and have never owned or built an AR but the time is near I feel lol!!! [/QUOTE]
